Career

[edit | edit source]

Born in the Chiba Prefecture, Imai made his debut for Omiya Ardija of the J1 League on March 20, 2013, against Júbilo Iwata in the J.League Cup in which he came on in the 56th minute for Daisuke Watabe as Omiya suffered a 2–0 defeat.[1]

On 11 February 2020, Imai moved to Australia, signing for A-League side Western United. Imai is only the second player in the clubs history to reach 100 games played. He was also a key part of Westerns Inaugural A-league championship in 2022.[2] Following the suspension of Western United's participation ahead of the 2025–26 season, all players – including Imai – were released from their contracts in September 2025.[3][4]

After his departure from Western United, Imai returned to Japan and signed for Machida Zelvia.[5]
