Club career

Tan Wangsong would start his career with Sichuan Guancheng where he would establish himself as the first choice right-back within the team, although he was considered a relatively thin player he endeared himself towards the coaching staff with his vigorous and bold style of play.[1] However due to the disbanding of Sichuan Guancheng he would have to transfer to Qingdao Zhongneng and then Tianjin Teda. After falling out with the club authorities, he moved to Henan Construction on 12 February 2010.
