Ulsan announced on the 5th that it has added height to its attack by embracing Jangshin striker Heo Yul. Heo Yul, a tall front-line striker with a height of 93, completed his first professional career transfer by changing his uniform to Ulsan.
Heo Yul, who has not only the header from his natural height and the ability to provide, but also his foot skills and compliance speed, was listed as a promising player early on.
Heo Yul made his professional debut in the 2021 season after going through a youth team under Gwangju FC and the 2020 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-19 tournament. As a super-long striker, he drew fans' attention from his first appearance and proved his possibility by scoring goals and assists in his first season.
Since then, he has made a contribution to bringing Gwangju back to the K League 1 with six goals and four assists and double-digit attack points in the 2022 season, and he has already succeeded in establishing himself as a large K-League striker by playing as the team's main striker in the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
Above all, Heo Yul also showed his ability to move between defensive positions depending on the team's situation and environment last season. It was a time to show his new strengths, such as dedication to the team and soccer intelligence.

Heo Yul's true face as above shone in Gwangju's last game last season.
Heo Yul scored the first goal in the first half of the sixth game of the Asian Champions League elite group stage against Shanghai Haigang, the winner of the Chinese Super League. Even when he fell under pressure from two opposing defenders, he dragged the ball into the opponent's penalty box and scored a perfect shot impact in a moment.
Heo Yul's joining in Ulsan is expected to double the destructive power of the second-line line, including attack from the front line, diversification of ball distribution routes, Rubik's Son, Lee Jin-hyun and Um Won-sang, and disperse the opponent's defense focus.
Heo Yul, who will now play as the K-League's defending champion's striker, said, `It's not easy to leave the team you've named for a long time as you're excited to meet new challenges, people and fans. However, I know that showing good performance and dedication to soccer on the ground without getting wet is the way to repay everyone who supports me. I know what Ulsan's goal this season is. I'll do my best to prepare for the winter camp", he expressed his feelings.
