Jung Jo-gook

FC Seoul

In 2003, after graduating Daesin High School and its football club, Jung joined K League club FC Seoul (then known as Anyang LG Cheetahs), where he started his professional career. In his debut season, he played as a striker, scoring 12 goals during 32 appearances. He was named the league's Rookie of the Year for that year. In 2004, Jung's performances continued at cup competitions, but did not last at the league. He once again scored double-digit goals during the season, but those included only two goals at the league. He contributed to Seoul's 2006 Korean FA Cup title, but his slump became longer after combining with frequent injuries. He scored the equaliser with a penalty in the second leg of the 2008 K League Championship final against Suwon Samsung Bluewings, but his team failed to win the league title. During the 2010 season, Jung made clutch moments in crucial matches, achieving the league and league cup double. He had one goal and one assist in the 2010 Korean League Cup final against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, and equalised with a penalty in the second leg of the 2010 K League Championship final against Jeju United.

Auxerre

After spearheading FC Seoul's run to the K League title, Jung agreed terms with French Ligue 1 outfit Auxerre. By accepting Auxerre's contract offer, he became the third Korean at the time to ply his trade in Ligue 1. On 3 January 2010, Jung signed a two-and-a-half-year deal. He made his Auxerre debut on 8 January 2011,…

Jung represented South Korea at the 2002 AFC Youth Championship and the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship. At the AFC Youth Championship, he scored in all three matches of the knockout stage including the 1–0 final win over Japan. Jung played for South Korea's senior national team in 13 matches including three AFC Asian Cup qualifiers in 2006.
