Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

Jo Hyeon-Woo is a 34-year-old goalkeeper at Ulsan Hyundai FC, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 33 appearances, a Season grade of 13, top 38% of K League 1 goalkeepers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 12.8, ranking 124th of 148 in the K League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (44.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hyeon-Woo.

Judged on this season alone, Hyeon-Woo graded 13 — a solid campaign that ranks top 39% of the 13 goalkeepers in the K League 1, on 5 clean sheets across 33 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 39 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 9th of 13 of the 13 goalkeepers in the K League 1. At 34 Hyeon-Woo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 12.8, Hyeon-Woo carries the 9th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the K League 1 of 13. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
