Shuntaro Koga (古賀 俊太郎, Koga Shuntaro, born 27 August 1998) is a Japanese footballer currently playing as a forward for AC Nagano Parceiro.
Club career
Early career and move to Europe
After graduating from junior high school, Koga embarked on a career which took him first to English Premier League side Leicester City. Having failed to establish himself in the club's youth ranks, he moved to the Netherlands, signing with PEC Zwolle, where he stayed for two years. However, as he was unable to receive a work permit in the Netherlands, he left the club in 2017. He went on to trial with Belgian side Cercle Brugge and French side Troyes, before joining Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in February 2018.
Return to Japan
Koga first returned to Japan in early 2019, going on trial with Yokohama F. Marinos. This trial proved to be unsuccessful, and after a spell back in Europe with Latvian side FK Auda, he signed for J2 League side Renofa Yamaguchi in February 2020. Having only made one appearance for Renofa Yamaguchi, he dropped down to the Japan Football League with FC Kariya for the 2021 season.
After a short spell in Australia with Caroline Springs, Koga signed for J3 League side YSCC Yokohama for the 2022 season.
