AC Nagano Parceiro have announced that defender Koya Tsuchihashi of Toyo University will join the club for the 2026/27 season in 2027.
Tsuchihashi is from Saitama Prefecture and previously played in the Urawa Reds academy. The club highlighted his accurate left-footed passing and excellent vision, which allow him to build attacks from the back. He is also strong in the air and in one-on-one situations, using his physical attributes to contribute at both ends of the pitch.
Following the announcement, Tsuchihashi commented:
“First of all, I'd like to thank my family for always supporting me and allowing me to focus on football, the coaches who have helped me grow both on and off the pitch, my teammates at Toyo University who have pushed me to improve every day, and everyone who has been part of my journey. I wouldn't be where I am today without you all. Thank you so much. I'm really happy to be starting my professional career at a club like AC Nagano Parceiro. Becoming a professional footballer has been my dream since childhood, and I'm determined to make the most of this opportunity. I'll work hard every day, stay humble and give everything I have to get out onto the pitch at Nagano U Stadium as soon as possible. Thank you to everyone at AC Nagano Parceiro for your support!”
