Ren Shibamoto (芝本 蓮, Shibamoto Ren, born 22 July 1999) is a Japanese professional footballer who is contracted to Gamba Osaka in the J1 League. His playing position is midfielder and he regularly turns out for Gamba's reserve side, Gamba Osaka U-23, in the J3 League.[1][2][3]
Club career
Born in Osaka Prefecture, Shibamoto joined local side Gamba Osaka as a youth. He was included in the club's under-23 side for the 2017 season, and made his debut on April 15, 2017, coming on as a half time substitute for Takahiro Ko in a 2-0 defeat to Nagano Parceiro.[4][5] In total he played 29 games and scored 1 goal in 2017 as his side finished 16th out of 17 teams in the final standings.
His performances in J3 didn't go unnoticed and at the age of 18 he was given a senior Gamba Osaka contract ahead of the 2018 season.[6] He was handed the number 32 jersey ahead of his debut season, however, owing to his tender years his top team action was limited to 5 outings as an unused substitute, 3 in J1 League and 2 in the J.League Cup.
Gamba operated a new policy for their J3 side in 2018, utilising it as reserve team as opposed to a youth team as it had been run the previous season. This limited Shibamoto's game time and he started just 13 times out of a total of 22 appearances and contributed 2 goals as Gamba U-23 finished 6th in the final standings.[2]
