Yoshiaki Fujita (藤田 義明, Fujita Yoshiaki, born 12 January 1983 in Utsunomiya, Tochigi) is a Japanese former professional footballer of Taiwanese descent.[1] He played as a defender for JEF United Chiba, Oita Trinita and most notably Júbilo Iwata.

Early life

Fujita started playing football at 6 years old and looked up to German players Lothar Matthäus and Jürgen Klinsmann as inspiration. He attended Utsunomiya Hakuyo High School.[2]

Club career

Fujita attended Juntendo University between 2001–2004. He signed his first professional contract in 2005 with J. League Division 1 club JEF United Chiba. He made his debut for the club in a 2–1 league defeat to Shimizu S-Pulse in April 2005.[3] After getting little game time at JEF United Chiba, Fujita was loaned to Oita Trinita for the second half of the 2006 season. He again struggled for game time until he moved permanently to Oita in 2007 and made his way into the starting XI. He helped the club win the 2008 J.League Cup.[4] After making over 100 appearances for Oita Trinita, he transferred to J1 League club Júbilo Iwata in 2011. He stayed at the club for ten seasons, making almost 300 appearances across all competitions, before announcing his retirement in December 2020.[5]

Coaching career

Following retirement, Fujita stayed with Júbilo Iwata, firstly as their U-15 coach in 2021, the U-13 coach in 2022 and spent 8 months as the U-18 manager in 2023.[6] At the start of the 2024 season, he was named as one of the first team coaches at Júbilo.[7]
