Sho Yamamoto (山本奨, Yamamoto Sho, born 12 November 1996) is a Japanese professional footballer who plays as a winger for Liga 1 club Persis Solo.

Career

Born in Kasukabe, Yamamoto debuted professionally already abroad in Europe with Rudar Pljevlja in the 2016–17 Montenegrin First League. He will play the following two seasons with another Montenegrin top-flight side, Petrovac. His successful adaptation to football in former-Yugoslavia made him come up on the radars of other teams from the region, which resulted in his move in summer 2019 to Serbian side Spartak Subotica.^[1]

He scored the winning goal against Arema in a Liga 1 match, which saw his club Persebaya Surabaya defeat Arema for the first time in 23 years^[2] and consequently the Kanjuruhan Stadium disaster.
