Susumu Oki's Club Career

Susumu Oki started his professional football journey in 1995. He joined Sanfrecce Hiroshima, a well-known team in Japan. In his early years with the club, he didn't play in many matches.

Later Career and Retirement

By 2006, Oki faced some challenges with injuries. This made it difficult for him to play as much as before. In 2007, he decided to move to his local club, Ehime FC. He played many matches for Ehime FC, especially in his younger years with the team. However, after 2010, his chances to play in games became less frequent. Susumu Oki officially retired from playing football at the end of the 2012 season.

During the 1995 World Youth Championship, Oki played in all four of Japan's matches. He even scored a goal in the very first game against the Chile team. This was a great achievement for him as a young player representing his country on a global stage.
