Club career

FC Seoul

In 2003, after graduating Daesin High School and leaving its football team, Jung Jo-Gook joined FC Seoul (then known as Anyang LG Cheetahs) for his senior club, where he played as a striker in the team. He scored 12 goals in 32 appearances in his debut season and received K League Rookie of the Year in 2003. However, his good form did not last and he experienced a slump until 2007 because of continuous injury. In the second half of the 2008, he recovered his good performance and scored 8 goals in 14 appearances. In 2010 K League, he succeeded in scoring double-digit goals again in 7 years and led FC Seoul to champion of 2010 season.

AJ Auxerre

After spearheading FC Seoul‘s run to the K League title, Jung agreed terms with French Ligue 1 outfit AJ Auxerre. By accepting Auxerre's contract offer, he became the third Korean at the time to ply his trade in Ligue 1. On 3 January 2010, Jung signed a two-and-a-half-year deal.[1][2] He made his AJ Auxerre debut against ES Wasquehal on 8 January 2011, coming on as substitute for the 62nd minutes in the 1–2 away defeat in the French Cup.[3] On 29 January 2011, Jung made his Ligue 1 debut for AJ Auxerre, coming on as a substitute in the 85th minute in the 2–0 defeat by SM Caen.[4]

In the 2010–11 season, Jung made 15 appearances as a reserve player for Auxerre, scoring 2 goals. However, he lost his first team place and even as a substitute during the 2011–12 season, and subsequently signed for Ligue 1 rivals AS Nancy on 16 September 2011, on loan until the end of the season.[5]

Returned to FC Seoul

On 6 July 2012, Jung Jo-gook returned to FC Seoul and played until 2015 season except Ansan Police FC for military service.

Gwangju FC

On 11 January 2016, Jung Jo-gook joined Gwangju FC. He performed well and had the best season of his career by scoring 20 goals in 31 league appearances. As a result, he was awarded the K League Top Scorer Award

International career

Jung Jo-Gook started his national team career from the Under-17 national team, participating in all of the age divisions (U-20s and U-23s) and is currently in the senior national team. This, according to some fans, is the 'elite course' in the South Korea national team. He has also participated in 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship during this time.
