- This is a Chinese name; the family name is Du.
Du Wei (Chinese: 杜威) (February 9, 1982 in Luoyang, Henan) is a Chinese professional football player who plays in defence, as a centre-back for Shanghai Shenhua.
In season 2005/06, he had a 6-month loan spell at Celtic in the Scottish Premier League. He was also a former captain of China's U-21 Football Team and China's Olympic Team in 2004.
Before he transferred to Celtic in 2005, he had played for Shanghai Cable and Shanghai Shenhua. He is able to play central defence and defensive midfielder. He made his uninspiring Celtic first team debut in the Scottish Cup Third Round tie against Clyde on 9 January 2006 in a surprise 2-1 defeat for the Glasgow club.
Du was substituted at half time by Celtic manager Gordon Strachan during his debut game against Clyde. The Celtic Board of Directors decided against renewing the player's loan, so Du Wei returned to Shanghai Shenhua in mid-January after playing with Celtic's first team for only one 45-minute half.
Du first came to prominence when he played two matches for the Chinese national team at the 2002 World Cup.
The agent for Du Wei is Edmund Chu, president of RAMP Management Group.
