Lang Zheng began his football career with Hebei in 2005 before joining top tier team Beijing Guoan and would eventually make his league debut coming on as late substitute against Changchun Yatai on 15 October 2006 in a 1-0 win.[1] By the 2007 league season he would continue to further establish himself within the Beijing team when he started his first league game on 16 June 2007 against Tianjin Teda, which Beijing lost 1-0.[2] He would remain a squad regular until the 2009 league season when he would eventually break into the first team and help Beijing win the league title as well as also scoring his first goal against Qingdao Jonoon on 26 September 2009 in a 1-0 victory.[3]
After spending several seasons behind Xu Yunlong and Zhang Yonghai in the defense, then manager Jaime Pacheco would promote youngsters Lei Tenglong and Yu Yang into the senior squad and after making only three appearances for the team during the 2011 league season, Lang was allowed to go on loan to Nanchang Hengyuan during the season. At Nanchang Lang Zheng was brought in to help the team fight off relegation, he would go on to make his debut against Hangzhou Greentown on 10 July 2011 where he came on as a late substitute in a 1-0 victory.[4] He would make several further appearances for Nanchang and even score a goal against Shaanxi Chanba in a 3-1 victory on 23 October 2011 while he helped them stay in the Chinese Super League.[5]
