Club career

Feng Renliang began his career playing for third tier side Tianjin Locomotive where he was considered a highly talented youngster. He was scouted by several Chinese teams before joining top tier side Shanghai Shenhua at the beginning of the 2010 league season with fellow team mate Song Boxuan.[1] Feng was immediately selected as the teams first choice right-winger by the Head coach Miroslav Blažević and he would make his debut on March 23, 2010 in a league game against Changsha Ginde F.C. in a 2-0 defeat.[2] Despite this loss he kept his place within the team and would show his attacking abilities a few weeks later on April 10, 2010 when he scored his first goal for the club in a league game against Hangzhou Greentown that Shanghai won 2-1.[3]

International career

After a personally impressive start to the 2010 league season Feng Renliang would be called-up to the Chinese national team and make his debut in a friendly against Bahrain on August 11, 2010 in a 1-1 draw.[4] After several further friendlies Feng would be called up to the preliminary squad for the 2011 AFC Asian Cup and while he wasn't guaranteed a spot within the team he was expected to play for the Chinese-23 team in their qualification campaign for the Football at the 2012 Summer Olympics, however it was discovered during this period that Feng had lied about his age and instead of being born January 8, 1989 he was actually born May 12, 1988.[5] On December 24, 2010 the Chinese Football Association would fine Tianjin Locomotive 30,000 yuan and Shanghai Shenhua 20,000 yuan for their knowledge of this and banned Feng for three games, which essentially meant he would be dropped for the 2011 AFC Asian Cup.[6]
