Jeong Sang-bin (Korean: 정상빈; born 1 April 2002) is a South Korean professional footballer who plays as a winger for Major League Soccer club St. Louis City and the South Korea national team.
Club career
On 28 January 2022, Jeong joined Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers and was immediately loaned to Grasshopper in Swiss Super League.[1] However, he only made 15 appearances with the Swiss club, including five starts, due to frequent injuries. On 17 March 2023, Grasshopper and Wolves mutually agreed to terminate Jeong's loan early.[2]
On 22 March 2023, Jeong officially joined Major League Soccer side Minnesota United for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-year contract, with a club option for the 2026 season.[3]
On 21 July 2025, St. Louis City announced they had acquired Jeong in a cash-for-player trade with Minnesota United for $1.6 million and up to $400,000 in conditional cash based on performance incentives.[4]
International career
Jeong made his debut for the South Korean senior national team on 9 June 2021, in a World Cup qualifier against Sri Lanka, scoring one of the goals in the 5–0 victory.[5]
