Nam Tae-Hee

South Korean international Nam Tae-hee joined Roar ahead of the 2026/27 Isuzu UTE A-League Men’s season. The attacking midfielder has 53 caps and 7 goals for South Korea and a career spanning across France, Qatar, Japan and the K League-1. He won a bronze medal with South Korea at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

In 2019 Nam crossed Doha to join Al-Sadd, where he spent two seasons playing under Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez. He was part of the side that won the 2020/21 Qatar Stars League title unbeaten, adding the Emir of Qatar Cup and further domestic silverware during his time at the club.

Nam then moved to Japan with Yokohama F. Marinos, helping the club reach the 2023/24 AFC Champions League Final. Nam joins the Roar from K League-1 side Jeju SK where he has made more than 60 apperances over the past two years. In total, Nam has lifted silverware on 22 occasions.

Australian fans will remember Nam from the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, where he started the final against the Socceroos in Sydney. He also returned in November 2018 and played at Suncorp Stadium in South Korea’s 1-1 draw with Australia, before scoring three days later in a 4-0 win over Uzbekistan at the Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre. His move to the Roar brings him back to a city he has already played in twice.
