Hiroyuki Omata's Football Journey

Hiroyuki Omata was born in Suginami, Tokyo, Japan, on September 1, 1983. He started his football journey early, joining the youth team of J1 League club FC Tokyo.

Starting Out at FC Tokyo

In 2002, Omata officially joined the senior team of FC Tokyo. He made his first professional appearance on April 6, coming in as a substitute defender during extra time in a match against JEF United Ichihara. However, after this debut, he didn't get to play in any more matches for the team.

Loan Spells and New Teams

In 2004, Omata was loaned to J2 League club Omiya Ardija. Unfortunately, he didn't play in any matches during his time there either. He returned to FC Tokyo in 2005, but still found it difficult to get playing time.

Looking for more opportunities, Omata moved to the J2 club Shonan Bellmare in 2006. This move proved to be a turning point! He quickly became a regular player, usually playing as a left side back. He played in almost all matches that season, missing only one due to a suspension. He continued to be a key player for Shonan Bellmare in 2007 as well.

Later Career and Retirement

In 2008, Omata joined Cerezo Osaka. During his time there, he faced challenges with repeated injuries, which meant he couldn't play as many matches as he would have liked.

His next move was to Avispa Fukuoka in 2012. He played many matches for this club over two seasons. Hiroyuki Omata decided to retire from professional football at the end of the 2013 season.
