Kim Hyo-ki (Korean: 김효기; born 4 July 2003) is a South Korean footballer who currently plays as a forward for Spanish side Villarreal C.

Club career

Having played football at the Daedong Elementary School in Seoul and the Mokdong Middle School, Kim travelled to Spain as a child, competing in a youth competition, where he attracted the interest of professional side Villarreal.[1] He joined the club in 2015, but was unable to play due to laws in Spain stating that he would be unable to register with the club until he turned eighteen.[1] He spent four years training with Villarreal affiliate CF Cracks, before spending the 2020–21 season with another affiliate, Alboraya UD.[1]

The following season, he was sent to a third affiliate club, Roda, who were competing in the Tercera División RFEF.[2][3] He finished the season with two goals from twenty-five appearances, also playing once in the Preferente Valenciana for Roda's B team.[4] He returned to Villarreal the following season, being assigned to the club's C team in the Tercera Federación.
