Playing for Vegalta Sendai and Kyoto Purple Sanga

Success with Kawasaki Frontale

In 2005, Mori joined Kawasaki Frontale, a team that had just been promoted to the J1 League. This was a great move for him! He became a regular player for a long time, playing as a right side back and sometimes as a right side midfielder. During his time there, Kawasaki Frontale had a lot of success. They finished in second place in the 2007 J.League Cup and again in the 2009 J.League Cup.

Returning to Tokyo Verdy and Later Clubs

In 2011, Yusuke Mori returned to his first club, Tokyo Verdy, after 11 years. He continued to play regularly as a right side back. However, by 2014, he started getting fewer chances to play.
