Club career

AFC Ajax

After a trial-period, Suk was offered a one-year contract with Dutch Eredivisie side AFC Ajax, which he signed on 1 January 2010. He became the first South Korean player to play for Ajax and the eighth to play in the Eredivisie. Suk made his debut in the first team barely a month later as a substitute in the 4–0 home win against Roda JC.

He scored his first Ajax' goal in a 2010–11 pre-season friendly win against Chelsea on 23 July 2010. Despite good performances in pre-season matches, he didn't get an opportunity to play in any official first team match during 2010–11 season. His contract at Ajax was therefore not renewed. He was thankful, however, for the years at Ajax, and is gratitude resulted in a tattoo of the club logo and the coat of arms of Amsterdam on his right arm.
