Career

[edit]

After spending three years with Yokohama F. Marinos on a type 2 contract while finishing high school, Tsubaki signed his first professional contract ahead of the 2019 season. He debuted for the Tricolore as a second half substitute in a 4-0 win away to Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo in the J.League Cup on 8 May 2019.[3][4]

Tsubaki has been transferred to Giravanz Kitakyushu in the J3 League on 15 August 2019 on loan. After Kitakyushu have become the champions of the 2019 J3 League, then have been promoted to the 2020 J2 League, Tsubaki's loan term to Kitakyushu has been extended to another season. After playing 34 matches with 2 goals out of 37 in the season, Tsubaki was transferred back to Yokohama as of the end of November 2020, then was transferred immediately to Melbourne City FC, the 2019-20 A-League runners-up, on loan as of 1 December 2020.[5] Following the conclusion of the 2020-21 A-League season, in which Melbourne City won the premiership and championship, Tsubaki departed Melbourne City and returned to Yokohama.[6]

After a loan to J2 League club Mito Hollyhock for the 2022 season, it was announced in December 2022 that Tsubaki would be leaving Yokohama F. Marinos on a permanent basis and joining JEF United Chiba for the 2023 season.[7]
