Timeline
He was named Suwon's Player of the Month for April, and K League Player of the Week in the 30th round.
Jung Sung-ryong (born 4 January 1985) is a South Korean professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Kawasaki Frontale.
Jung was born in Seongnam, Gyeonggi, and grew up in Gwangju.
Jung began playing football when his father gave him a football in the second grade of elementary school.
When Jung was in the fifth grade, his school's football club was founded, and he started his football career.
Initially playing as a sweeper, he switched his role to goalkeeper in the middle school.
Jung joined Seogwipo High School in Seogwipo, Jeju, after graduating from Gwangju Middle School.
In the high school tournament of the 2002 Korean National Sports Festival, he played for Jeju's provincial team, and won the title.
In January 2003, Jung signed his first professional contract with Pohang Steelers.
During the first three years in Pohang, he failed to make any appearances for club's senior team due to becoming an understudy to first-choice goalkeeper Kim Byung-ji.
Because of Kim's existence, Jung had thoughts of performing military duties, but was talked out of it by reserve team coach Park Tae-ha, who told he would get his chance.
Jung started to compete with Shin Hwa-yong for the role as a starter since the 2006 season after Kim left Pohang.
He made his senior debut and kept his first clean sheet in a 1–0 victory against Gyeongnam FC on 22 April 2006.
Since making his debut, he finally started to play for the first team.
In the 2006 K League, (including the 2006 Korean League Cup) Jung conceded 27 goals during 26 appearances, while Shin conceded 21 goals during 13 appearances.
In the 2007 regular season, Pohang preferred Shin to Jung who had to commit to the national under-23 team.
Nevertheless, Pohang trusted Jung with their goalpost in the K League Championship and the Korean FA Cup.
He helped his team to win the K League title, and reach the FA Cup Final.
In February 2008 after Kim Yong-dae enlisted in Gwangju Sangmu, Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma scouted Jung to replace Kim.
Jung attempted to negotiate with Pohang, but left the club with a year left on his contract.
Jung played as the first-choice goalkeeper for Seongnam.
Seongnam conceded the least goals in the 2008 regular season due to his immediate effect.
He still kept his place as a starter after Kim returned from Sangmu in 2009.
He left a memorable game by changing his role to an outfield player just before the penalty shoot-out in the 2009 K League Championship.
He missed Seongnam's third shot in the shoot-out, but they won the game.
While contributing to winning the 2010 AFC Champions League title, he played all twelve matches from the group stage to the final and kept five clean sheets.
He also participated in the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup.
On 28 January 2011, it was announced that Jung had joined Suwon Samsung Bluewings on a five-year deal for undisclosed fee.
Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors was also interested in him, but he chose Suwon.
Jung met his former club Seongnam in the 2011 Korean FA Cup Final, and lost to them.
Jung experienced an unpleasant damage in the 2011 AFC Champions League semi-final first leg against Al-Sadd.
In the middle of the match, the play had been suspended due to an injured player, and the ball was being moved to Jung to resume play after the end of the situation.
However, Al-Sadd striker Mamadou Niang suddenly intercepted the ball in front of Jung and scored the discourteous goal.
Jung kept a clean sheet in the second leg, but Suwon lost 2–1 on aggregate due to the controversial goal.
Jung couldn't play for Suwon for two months while playing as an over-aged player for the national under-23 team in the 2012 Summer Olympics.
After the end of the 2012 season, he was nominated for the K League FANtastic Player award, but lost to Dejan Damjanović.
In a K League match against Pohang on 10 November 2013, Jung made a mistake which seriously injured his reputation.
He blocked an opponent's shot, but smashed the ball into the net with his hand after losing his balance.
He was criticised for his action redolent of the slam dunk.
During the 2014 K League 1, Jung showed outstanding performances, helping his team to finish runners-up.
