Tomoya Shinohara (篠原 友哉, Shinohara Tomoya, born 20 April 1999) is a Japanese former footballer who played as a midfielder for JEF United Chiba.
Career[edit]
Shinohara started his youth career at Kanto Daiichi High School, where he made multiple appearances in the Inter High School Championship in 2016 and 2017. He then attended Toin University of Yokohama and played for their football team between 2018 and 2021. He was a prominent member of the University team competing in JUFA Kanto League 1 and the Emperor's Cup, making 59 appearances, scoring 14 goals.[1]
In February 2022, he joined J2 League club JEF United Chiba for the 2022 season.[2] He made his debut in the same month, in a 2–1 win over FC Ryukyu.[3] He made four appearances throughout his debut season.
Shinohara did not play at all throughout the 2023 season and in November 2023 announced his retirement, aged 24.[4] He underwent surgery in June of the previous year due to repeated heart attacks during training. Since then, he had been suffering from shortness of breath and a generally poor condition for more than a year, leaving him no longer able to even participate in training. Rehabilitation efforts aimed at his return were not successful, and after receiving a second opinion, it was decided that it would be difficult for him to continue as a soccer player, and he decided to retire.
