Club career

Pohang Steelers

Sin Jin-ho attended 'Pohang Steel Technical High School'. During his first year of high school, he studied abroad at a Brazilian professional soccer team Atlético as part of the Pohang Steelers' prospect development project. He was selected first by the Pohang Steelers in the 2007 K League Draft and then entered Yeungnam University .

After joining Pohang Steelers in 2011, he mainly participated in Korean League Cup competitions. On 6 April, he assisted Noh Byeong-jun's goal in the League Cup match against Daejeon Hana Citizen, recording his first assist since his debut. And in the regular league, he debuted as a substitute for Hwang Jin-seong in the 23rd minute of the second half in a game against Busan I'Park on 6 August. When Pohang Steelers legend Kim Ki-dong retired in 2012, Sin Jin-ho inherited his number 6. Although he suffered an ankle injury at the beginning of the season and was unable to play, he made his first appearance of the season in a game against Incheon United on 14 June and recorded an assist, quickly earning himself a starting position. In the game against Suwon Samsung Bluewings on 1 July, he scored 1 goal and 1 assist, along with his first goal in his professional debut, and was a major contributor to the team's 5-0 win. He played in 23 games in the 2012 season, scoring 1 goal and 6 assists in the regular league. In particular, in the FA Cup final against Gyeongnam FC, he scored a free kick that helped Park Sung- ho's golden backheader's winning goal just before the end of extra time, helping the team win the FA Cup.

In 2013, he played an active role as the team's starting midfielder, playing in all games up to the 20th round of the regular league (15 starters, 5 substitutes), 5 out of 6 AFC Champions League group stage games, and all games up to the FA Cup quarterfinals. In August, he moved to Qatar Sports Club of the Qatar Stars League on loan for one year. Sin re-joined Pohang Steelers in January 2021.[1]
