Arya Igami Tarhani (タルハニ存哉, Igami Tarhani Arya, born 24 February 2003) is a Japanese footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for Singapore Premier League club Albirex Niigata (S).
Igami was born in Tokyo to a half-Iranian father. [2]
Having begun his career with Buddy SC and professional side Kashiwa Reysol, Igami starred at a youth camp organised by Spanish side Barcelona in 2011, winning the Most Valuable Player award. [2] The following year, he played at another camp in Kashima, being noticed by another Spanish team, Espanyol. [2] Igami went on to trial with Espanyol in May 2011, helping the club to win the MICFootball7 youth tournament. [2]
Having successfully passed the trial with Espanyol, Igami was offered a place in the club's academy in July 2013, going on to sign in September of the same year. [2] [3] His career in Spain got off to a good start, and he was named Most Valuable Player again at the Porto International Cup in April 2014 and the Memorial Josep Barceló tournament in May, scoring against Mallorca and Real Madrid in each final, respectively. [4] [5]
Despite this good start, Igami left the club the following year in 2015, but stayed in Spain with Cornellà. [6] Following the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain, football activity was suspended, and Igami's career stalled; by 2022, he was playing for Badalona, featuring briefly for the club's youth teams at the beginning of the year.
On 18 December 2023, Igami signed his first professional career contract with Singaporean side Albirex Niigata (S) moving all the way to Southeast Asia ahead of the 2024–25 Singapore Premier League season. [1]
Igami was called up to the Japan under-15 squad for the 2018 edition of the EAFF U-15 Men's Championship. [7] He scored in a 6–0 win against Chinese Taipei, before scoring a brace in a resounding 16–0 win against the Northern Mariana Islands. [8] [9]
