Seoul finished their campaign in fourth place, 14 points behind champions Ulsan, MailOnline reports.
Lingard was thrilled and he wrote on Instagram: ‘Top 4. What an amazing feeling, thank you to the fans, staff, and players for making me feel welcome from the start, it’s been a long season but we showed just how good we can be.
Former Manchester United star Lingard, who joined Seoul on a two-year contract in February following spells with West Ham and Nottingham Forest, also shared multiple videos of himself dancing.
Lingard bust out several moves, including a mimed version of a golf swing, as he and his team-mates celebrated in front of their traveling fans after rubber-stamping qualification for the 2025-26 edition of the AFC Champions League Elite. The 31-year-old had earlier performed a celebratory jig during the match too.
He was not the only member of the Seoul squad to throw some shapes after Saturday’s game. Multiple players took it in turns to show off their dance moves in front of the away fans at the Gimcheon Stadium.
He provided an assist for the game’s opening goal late in the first half when his whipped corner kick was headed home by Cho Young-wook.
Lingard had been without a club for more than six months when he joined Seoul on a free transfer in February.
He recently said that his break from football had been linked to his grandmother falling ill before passing away in November last year.
‘Behind every footballer there’s a story the public aren’t aware of and I’d like you to know mine,’ he wrote in a column with The Times. ‘It might explain how I got here — and help other players dealing with private strife.
