Shin In-Seob (; born 1 June 1989), also referred to as Inseob Shin, is a professional football player from South Korea who currently competes for FC Pocheon in the K3 League, which represents the fourth division of South Korean football.
Early life
At the age of seven, Shin started his football journey when his family relocated to England; they later returned to South Korea after five years abroad.
Club career
During the initial phase of his career, Shin underwent a five-month trial period with the youth academy of Crystal Palace. In June 2009, he made his first appearance for Adelaide United during friendly matches and secured his inaugural professional contract following his departure from Konkuk University. Although the start of his professional career was postponed due to international clearance procedures, he eventually debuted in the A-League in August 2009 and netted his first goal in the Youth League the next month.
After a modest tenure with Adelaide United, Shin went back to South Korea in 2010 and was selected by Busan I'Park for the 2011 K-League season. The following year, he transferred to Chinese side Beijing Baxy, where he scored two goals. In 2014, he joined Yongin City, competing in the Korea National League, the country's third tier, before moving on to play for FC Pocheon in the K3 League.
Personal life
Fluent in both English and Korean—a result of his childhood years spent in England—Shin expressed in a 2009 interview conducted in Australia that his favorite musical artist is K-pop singer Wheesung, and he enjoys watching the Korean variety show Infinite Challenge.
