Yeon Gi-sung (born 1 August 1989) is a South Korean footballer who plays as a forward.

Club career

On account of limited game time at Gyeongnam, the attacker went to Thailand to play for Thai Premier League team TTM Phichit in 2011, authoring a hat-trick right away[2] and recording seven goals in total.[1] However, he suffered a dislocated foot, requiring two surgeries, and was benched for 20 months before a four-month stint with BEC Tero Sasana in 2014, leading to a loan spell with PTT Rayong which was cut short by a torn ligament.[2]

As one of the many repercussions of an injury, Yeon had to recover for about a year, finally transferring to Myanmar National League side Yadanarbon F.C. in 2015, helping the club to a runners-up medal.[2] Going back to Thailand to play for Bangkok Christian College for the remainder of the season where he scored 7 times, the Korean officially became the property of Cambodian outfit Phnom Penh Crown FC in May 2017.[2] Appearing in a number of games, Yeon placated the fans with 7 goals in an 11-0 crushing of CMAC FC.[3] Comfortable with life in Cambodia's capital, the forward shares residency with four Korean footballers and two agents, going to Phnom Penh SunLin Church as a Christian.[4]
