Shinji Ono (小野 伸二, Ono Shinji, born 27 September 1979)[2] is a Japanese footballer who plays as a midfielder for J2 League club Consadole Sapporo. Known as Tensai[3][4] (天才, Japanese for Genius), Ono is one of the biggest stars in Asian football, known for his vision, technique and superb passing.[5] Although his primary position is attacking midfielder, he can play anywhere in the midfield, including defensive midfield and either wing.
Career
Urawa Red Diamonds
Ono grew up in the Shizuoka Prefecture and began his professional career with Urawa Red Diamonds in the J. League in 1998. The same year, he became the youngest Japanese player to play at 1998 FIFA World Cup, at age 18.[6] He caught the attention of foreign clubs with his performance at the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship in Nigeria, where he captained the Japanese Under-20 side that reached the final. But later that year, he suffered a severe knee injury in a qualification match for the 2000 Olympics with Japan's Under-23 side, forcing him to miss the rest of the season and Olympic qualifying.[7]
Feyenoord Rotterdam
After a strong performance at the 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup, Ono moved to Feyenoord Rotterdam of the Dutch Eredivisie in 2001. In his first season, he helped Feyenoord win the 2002 UEFA Cup, making him the first Japanese player in history to win a European trophy. However, a string of injuries kept him sidelined for long periods. After he missed the majority of 2004–05, the club sold him.[8] His stint at the Rotterdam based club is highly rated and Dutch international Wesley Sneijder said "Shinji Ono is the toughest opponent I've ever faced".[9]
Urawa Red Diamonds return
On 13 January 2006, Ono returned to the J. League, signing a three-year deal with his former club Urawa Red Diamonds.[10]
VfL Bochum
In the 2008 January transfer window, Ono returned to Europe, signing with Bundesliga's VfL Bochum. On 3 February 2008, Ono made his Bundesliga debut in an away game against SV Werder Bremen, and he had two assists that helped Bochum with their first ever win over Bremen at Weserstadion. Ono suffered injuries in the following two years in Bochum, and could only play 34 matches in which he gave four assists for the club. In the winter break of 2009–10, Ono requested a return to Japan for personal reasons. Different Japanese clubs were interested in the midfielder. VfL Bochum allowed him to leave under the condition that they could find a successor.[11]
Shimizu S-Pulse

On 9 January 2010, Ono returned to his native Shizuoka Prefecture by signing for Shimizu S-Pulse.[12] The transfer fee were rumored to be 300,000 Euro for the midfielder whose contract in Bochum expired in the summer of 2010. In an interview he declared that the main reason for his transfer was his wish to reunite with his wife and children, who were still living in Japan.[13]
Western Sydney Wanderers
On 28 September 2012, it was announced that Shinji Ono had signed with new A-League club Western Sydney Wanderers on a two-year deal as the club's marquee player. The Wanderers were originally chasing former German international Michael Ballack, before opting to sign Ono.[14] He made his debut for the Wanderers on 6 October, in a scoreless draw against Central Coast Mariners, in the first game of the season.
Ono scored his first goal for the club with a penalty in round 10 against Brisbane Roar.[15] Ono scored two stunning goals to help the Wanderers beat Melbourne Victory 2–1 in round 14 on 1 January 2013.[16] On 16 January 2014, the club announced that Ono would return to Japan at the end of the A-League season. Ono will link up with J-2 club Consadole Sapporo to play out the remainder of the season in Japan as the club chases promotion to the J-League.[17] On 4 May 2014, Ono played his last A-League game for the Wanderers, in a 2-1 Grand Final loss to Brisbane Roar, in what was to be the Wanderers' second successive Grand Final defeat.[18]
Consadole Sapporo
Following the expiration of his contract and his desire to see his family, Ono joined Consadole Sapporo in May 2014.[17]
International career
When fit, Ono was an ever-present member of the Japanese national team. He made his full international debut on 1 April 1998 against South Korea in a friendly.[1] After his appearance in the 1998 World Cup, he was a key member of the Japanese squad in the 2002 FIFA World Cup. He has represented Japan at every age level starting with the U-16 team, and was one of three overage selections at the 2004 Olympics in Athens. Injuries limited Ono to just one appearance in the final round of the qualifiers for the 2006 World Cup and missed the Confederations Cup in 2003 and 2005. He played in his third World Cup finals in Germany.[19]
