The 26-year-old joined Rangers in the most recent summer transfer window.

Starting his career in Tokyo, Yokota moved to Germany when he was just 18-years-old, first joining the academy of FSV Frankfurt and then FC Carl Zeiss Jena.

In 2021, he signed for Latvian club Valmiera and helped them win their first-ever championship in 2022 with eight goals and 10 assists that season.

Yokota spent a season in Poland with Górnik Zabrze before he joined Gent in 2024.

While at Gent, he enjoyed a successful loan spell at Hannover 96 before the deal was made permanent.
