Reo Hatate (旗手 怜央, Hatate Reo, born 21 November 1997) is a Japanese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Scottish Premiership club Celtic and the Japan national team.

Early life

Hatate was born in Suzuka, Mie Prefecture and played youth football for FC Yokkaichi before studying at Shizuoka Gakuen High School and later, the Juntendo University.[2][3] While studying at the Juntendo University, it was announced that Hatate would sign for J1 League side Kawasaki Frontale in 2020, when he graduates.[4][5] He joined Frontale in 2018 as a designated special player and was approved to continue as a designated player in 2019.[2][6]

University

Rated as one of the country's most promising university prospects,[7][8][9] Hatate was called up to the Japanese University Team to play at the 2017 Summer Universiade, where he scored three goals, helping Japan to win the title for the sixth time.[10] He also featured at the 2018 AFC U-23 Championship, however he did not score in this competition.[11][12]

Hatate helped Japan to the 2019 Summer Universiade title in July 2019, scoring two goals, including one against Brazil in the final.[13][14][15]

Club career

Hatate made his debut at the end of the 2019 J1 League season, coming on as a substitute for Hiroyuki Abe in a 2–1 win over Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo.[16]

The following season, he would go on to establish himself in the Kawasaki Frontale team. Due to his versatility, he was utilised mostly as a left wing-back, but also played as an attacking midfielder, and on both wings.[17] He finished the season with six goals in 38 appearances in all competitions, as Frontale went on to win the 2020 J1 League.

Celtic

On 31 December 2021, Hatate was announced to have signed a four-and-a-half year deal with Scottish Premiership club Celtic for a fee believed to be in the region of £1.4 million.[18] On 17 January 2022, he made his debut against Hibernian and was awarded man of the match.[19] On 2 February, Hatate recorded two goals and one assist in the Old Firm against Rangers. [20]

International career

In 2019, he gained international recognition for his performances at the Toulon Tournament, where he scored two goals to help Japan to the final, where they were eventually defeated on penalties by Brazil.[21] Hatate missed Japan's final penalty, handing the title to Brazil.[22][23][24]

Having represented Japan at youth level, Hatate was called up to the Japan U24 team for the 2020 Olympics.[25] On 29 March 2022, Hatate made his debut for Japan against Vietnam in a World Cup Qualifier.[26]
