Club career
Li started his football career in 2009 when he was promoted to Beijing Guoan's first team squad. The following season in an attempt to gain more playing time Li was loaned to Beijing Guoan's satellite team Beijing Guoan Talent, which would play as a foreign team in Singapore's S.League in 2010. Wearing the number 10 shirt, Li served as the key player of the team. He made his senior debut in a 1–0 home defeat against Étoile FC on 12 February 2010. He scored his first senior goal in the first round of 2010 Singapore Cup which Beijing Guoan Talent lost to invited foreign team Kitchee from Hong Kong 2–1. On 7 September, the club was involved in a brawl during a match with Young Lions at Jalan Besar Stadium. Li was fined S$2,500 by Football Association of Singapore (FAS) for participating the brawl.[1] He scored his first senior league goal on 19 October in a 3–1 home defeat against Albirex Niigata (Singapore).
Li returned to Beijing Guoan in 2011. On 25 May, he made his debut for Beijing Guoan on the third round of 2011 Chinese FA Cup which Beijing beat Nanchang Hengyuan 6–1 at Workers Stadium, coming on as a substitute for Zhang Xizhe in the 46th minute.[2] His first Super League debut came on 2 July in a match against Shaanxi Renhe coming on as substitute for Piao Cheng in a 1–1 draw.[3]
In January 2014, Li was loaned to Segunda Liga side Tondela until the end of 2013/14 season.[4]
