Yusuke Unoki

Yusuke Unoki (宇野木 悠佑) is a Japanese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Philippines Football League club Davao Aguilas.

Youth career
Unoki was born in the Tokyo area, and played for the youth team of J-League Kashiwa Reysol all the way until the Under 18 Level. In college, he played for the football team of Kanto Gakuin University.

Germany
After graduating, he travelled to Germany to play football for lower league side VfB Homberg. He was moderately successful and stayed there for one season, before moving to another German side, 1. FC Kleve. He had his most successful stint yet, scoring 8 goals across 27 appearances in his only season at the club.

Finland
In mid-2020, Unoki moved to Finnish side AC Kajaani. However, his time at the club was less productive, marred by the COVID-19 Pandemic and various injuries. In the latter half of the year he transferred to another Finnish side, Kultsu FC,  but likewise struggled for goals, being played on the wing rather than up front.

Shinagawa CC
Unoki returned to his home country of Japan a year after having another brief stint abroad with Croatian side NK Krk. He signed for Shinagawa CC Yokohama, playing with them for a full season before departing in early 2024.

Davao Aguilas
In early 2024, it was reported that Unoki had signed a contract with Davao Aguilas of the Philippines Football League, who were returning to the league after 6 years away. Unoki made his debut in the opening matchday, a 1–0 win over Mendiola, scoring his first two goals in a 6–0 win over Manila Montet. He had a successful season scoring over 10 goals for the club, including a hat-trick against Maharlika Taguig.
