BIOGRAPHY
A regular presence in NEC Nijmegen's squad, K. Sano has made his mark in the Eredivisie through consistent performances. Originally from Tsuyama, Japan, this Japan international has steadily made his way to the top level. Standing at 176 cm and weighing 68 kg, this midfielder has the physical tools to compete at the highest level. Whether holding or organising, he adapts perfectly to the different situations he encounters on the pitch.
