Club career

Kashima Antlers

[edit]

Suzuki joined the Kashima Antlers youth system at the age of 7 in 2003.

After scoring two goals and leading Kashima Antlers to their first ever AFC Champions League title in 2018, Suzuki was named MVP of the competition.[3]

He was chosen as one of the candidates for 2018 Asian Footballer of the Year.[4]

Sint-Truiden

[edit]

On 15 July 2019, Suzuki joined Belgian First Division A club Sint-Truiden.[5] Suzuki scored his first goal for his new club on 21 September 2019, opening the scoring in his side's 3–0 victory over Sporting Charleroi.[6]

On 30 November 2019, Suzuki headed in the winning goal as Sint-Truiden upset defending league champions Genk, to move up to 10th in the league table.[7]

Kashima Antlers

[edit]

On 3 January 2022, his departure from Sint-Truiden was announced. He returned to his former club Kashima Antlers.[8] This marked his 6th season in Japan's top flight league (J1 League), where he played from the start of his career in 2015, until transferring overseas in 2019. On 30 January 2024, Suzuki was injured and would spend 5 weeks out.[9] On 4 December 2023, he was nominated as one of 34 players to win the 2023 J.League MVP Award.[10] On 11 June 2024, he won the Meiji Yasuda J1 KONAMI Monthly MVP award for May.[11]

International career

[edit]

His debut call-up to the Japan national team was on 7 November 2018 for the Kirin Cup,[12] but he was excluded because of suffering an ankle sprain in his club's AFC Champions League match.[13]
