While at Bursaspor
Shin scored his first goal in only his second full match for the club against Genclerbirligi on 8 February 2009. In spite of enjoying moderate success with Bursaspor, Shin's short career in Turkey came to an abrupt end when he walked out on his club due to contract violations (disputed between the player and club). Despite threats from Bursaspor, Shin returned clubless to South Korea
and signed with FC Tom Tomsk at the end of December, 2009. However, the contract problem with his former club prevented him from joining or playing for Tom Tomsk.
On 28 January 2011 Shin completed a move to Jeju United
for an undisclosed fee.
On 8 May, Shin entered the game against Daegu at the 82nd minute. After chipping in a shot just before the end, he fell down on the pitch, suffering a heart attack. Medical staff immediately provided cardiopulmonary resuscitation on site. Once he started breathing again, he was quickly taken to a local hospital, where he remained uncouncious. After 50 days in coma he miraculously woke up and was transferred to a hospital in Seoul, where he is currently receiving further diagnosis and treatment.
