Hidemasa Morita (born 10 May 1995, age 31) is a Japanese central midfielder with Sporting CP. His current market value is around £7m, according to Transfermarkt.

His strongest league return came in 2022-23 with Sporting, when he scored six goals in 29 appearances. For a central midfielder, that is a useful contribution rather than a statistical curiosity, and it gives a fair sense of his place as a first-team player rather than a fringe name.
