Hirokane Harima

Hirokane Harima's story is a Hong Kong one with a Japanese thread: born and raised in Hong Kong to a Japanese father and a Hong Kong mother, he came through Eastern and Kitchee and represented Hong Kong at youth level. His first professional goal was the winner in a 2016 AFC Cup match against Kaya, scored three minutes after coming off the bench, the kind of moment a young forward never forgets. After that he moved around the Hong Kong game, from Dreams and Hoi King to Eastern, Rangers, Resources Capital and HKFC. That journeyman path, taking minutes wherever they were offered, is the reality for most professionals, and I respect it.
