Ryo Miyaichi (宮市 亮 Miyaichi Ryō?, born 14 December 1992) is a Japanese professional footballer who plays as a winger for FC St. Pauli in the 2. Bundesliga. He has played in the Premier League for clubs such as Arsenal, Wigan Athletic and Bolton Wanderers. He also played for Feyenoord and Twente in the Eredivisie as well. Japan's former head coach Alberto Zaccheroni has said that "Miyaichi's strengths are on the flanks and creating space going forward."
Miyaichi was born into a sporting family, with father Tatsuya Nomoura being a former basketball player who played for and later managed the Toyota Motors basketball club, and brother Tsuyoshi also being a football player. Miyaichi started playing football in his elementary school years at Sylphid F.C. in Nagoya. He entered Chukyodai Chukyo High School and played for the school football club. In the 2010 season, the team advanced to the All Japan High School Soccer Tournament but were defeated in the first round; the match had also been televised across Japan.
Miyaichi first trialled for Arsenal in the summer of 2010, where he impressed the Arsenal manager. Arsène Wenger was convinced of Miyaichi's abilities and subsequently offered him a contract with Arsenal. On 31 January 2011, he joined the club and signed a professional contract. Wenger said: "We’re delighted that Ryo Miyaichi has joined us. He trialled with us in the summer and has raw ability which has attracted many clubs around the world".
