FC Anyang, newly promoted to the top division in Korean football, announced their signing of the reigning second-division scoring champion Bruno Mota on Friday.

Mota led the K League 2 with 16 goals in 35 matches last year for Cheonan City FC. He also recorded five assists and had the most goal involvements in the league. The 28-year-old Brazilian finished second overall with 94 shot attempts and fourth with 48 shots on goal.

FC Anyang earned direction promotion to the K League 1 for 2025 by winning the K League 2 with 63 points last year. They ranked fifth in goals with 51 in 36 matches and did not have anyone scoring in double figures.

FC Anyang said the left-footed Mota is a great finisher who can also make effective linkup plays.

"We expect him to play a vital role in creating scoring opportunities for us up front," the club added.

FC Anyang set up offseason training camp in Thailand earlier Friday.
