Kento Hashimoto (橋本 拳人, Hashimoto Kento, born August 16, 1993) is a Japanese football player who plays for Rostov as a defensive midfielder.
Club Career
Tokyo
Considered as one of the strongest prospects of FC Tokyo youth ranks, he started to be in first squad from 2011 season. He didn't find so space on the squad, so Hashimoto was loaned to Roasso Kumamoto for 2013 and 2014 season.
Rostov
On 9 July 2020, Russian Premier League club FC Rostov announced that they have reached agreement with FC Tokyo on Hashimoto's transfer, and he will sign a 4-year contract with Rostov after he arrives to Russia and passes medical exam. On 23 August 2020, he scored his first goal for Rostov to secure a 1–0 away victory over FC Ufa. In their next game 3 days later he once again scored the only goal of the game to beat FC Ural Yekaterinburg 1–0.
On 19 February 2021, Rostov removed Hashimoto from their official squad as registered with the league. That was expected to be temporary, as Russian clubs are only allowed to have 8 foreign players registered at the same time, and Hashimoto was injured at the time. He was returned to the squad list on 24 February after the loan of David Toshevski freed up a foreign player spot.
