Takafumi Akahoshi (赤星 貴文, Akahoshi Takafumi; born 27 May 1986) is a Japanese former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Career

In 2010, Akahoshi joined Latvian side Liepājas Metalurgs. Soon after joining the team, he became a vital figure in its starting eleven and made several excellent appearances. He scored his first goal for Liepāja in a 4–2 league victory against FK Ventspils on 22 August 2010. He made 15 appearances in the LMT Virsliga, scored six times and became the fourth top scorer in Metalurgs' team. He also played one domestic cup match, when Metalurgs were beaten by FK Jelgava and one Champions League qualification match, when Metalurgs were once again beaten - this time by Sparta Praha from the Czech Republic. He was also included in the 2010 LMT Virsliga team of the season. The club finished the league in the third place. After that season he was released by Metalurgs, as the club intended that he had to play in a bit higher level the next year. In January 2011, he joined Pogoń Szczecin.[1]

Ufa

In July 2014, Akahoshi signed a three-year contract with Russian Premier League side Ufa,[2] making his debut as a half-time substitute against Zenit St.Petersburg on 16 August 2014.[3] After only three appearances for Ufa, Akahoshi rejoined Pogoń Szczecin on loan until the end of the 2014–15 season in February 2015.[4] On 8 June 2015, Akahoshi left Ufa by mutual consent.[5]

Return to Pogoń Szczecin

On termination of his deal with Ufa, Akahoshi immediately rejoined Pogoń Szczecin.[6]

Arema

On 24 August 2019, Indonesian club Arema announced Akahoshi as their new player, filling their Asian foreign player slot.[7] He made his debut in a 1–1 home draw against PSIS Semarang on 31 August, appearing as a second-half substitute.[8]
