Club career edit

Sukigara was born in Tokyo on April 2, 1966. After graduating from University of Tsukuba, he joined Yomiuri (later Verdy Kawasaki) in 1989. However he could hardly play in the match at the club which had many Japan national team players. In March 1994, he moved to Urawa Reds. At Reds, the only match he played was against his old club Verdy.[1][2] In 1995, he moved to Japan Football League club Fukushima FC. Although he played many matches, the club was disbanded in 1997.
