On 15 April 2016, he made his debut for Shandong Luneng in the 2016 Chinese Super League against Yanbian FC, coming on as a substitute for Zhang Chi in the 63rd minute. He would play understudy to Zheng Zheng and Song Long for the left back position until on 21 January 2020 he was loaned out to fellow top tier club Guangzhou R&F to gain more playing time. He would make his debut for Guangzhou R&F in a league game on 26 July 2020, against Shenzhen F.C. in a 3-0 defeat.

He would go on to make his debut in a league game on 4 June 2022 against Tianjin Jinmen Tiger in a 1-1 draw.
