On 12 July 2019, Jang joined Saudi Professional League club Al-Hilal on a three-year contract.[2] During the 2019–20 season, he played an important role in Al-Hilal's continental treble.[3] In 2021, he suppressed Pohang Steelers' attack excellently in the AFC Champions League Final, achieving his second Champions League title.[4] After Jang led Al-Hilal to three consecutive league titles, they extended the contract with him for one more year on 29 June 2022.[5]
Jang played as a key player for South Korea under Uli Stielike, Shin Tae-yong and Paulo Bento,[6] and also participated in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[7] On 1 November 2018, however, Jang received a lifetime ban from representing the national team and received a $26,800 fine from the Korea Football Association after he admitted to falsifying records related to his alternative service. He had previously earned military exemption by winning gold at the 2014 Asian Games.[8]
