Shonan Bellmare have announced the arrival of midfielder Tsukasa Umesaki on a full transfer from Urawa Reds.

The 30-year-old has played at Urawa for the last 10 seasons, but made just 10 appearances in the 2017 MEIJI YASUDA J1 League campaign due to injury.

“After 10 years at Urawa Reds the decision to make this transfer was not one I made lightly,” Umesaki said. 

“I’m convinced I can improve under manager Cho Kwi-jea. I’ll play with nothing less than all of my strength on the pitch and look forward to celebrating with all of our fans.”
