Yang Yihu (simplified Chinese: 杨一虎; traditional Chinese: 楊一虎; pinyin: Yáng Yīhǔ; born 16 September 1991) is a Chinese footballer who currently plays for Guizhou Renhe in the Chinese Super League.

Club career

Yang Yihu was promoted to Guangzhou Evergrande's first team in 2009 but did not appear in a single league game that season. He made his debut for Guangzhou on 3 April 2010 in a 3-1 win against Beijing BIT[1] and was described by then manager Lee Jang-Soo as a hot prospect for the future. However, Yang did not have much of a chance to play for Guangzhou as the club had many strong attacking players such as Muriqui, Gao Lin, Jiang Ning, Darío Conca and Cléo. On 3 August 2011, he scored the only goal for Guangzhou in a 7-1 friendly defeat against Real Madrid during Real Madrid's tour in China. He made his first tier league debut on 21 August 2011 in a 1–1 away draw against Henan Construction, coming on as a substitute for Yang Hao in the 80th minute. This was the only league game he played in during the 2011 league season, however Yang did score eleven goals for Guangzhou Evergrande's reserve team in the reserve league.

Yang transferred to fellow Chinese Super League side Guizhou Renhe for a reported fee of ¥1 million on 5 January 2012.[2] He made his debut on 10 March 2012 in a 2–1 home victory against Shandong Luneng, coming on as a substitute for Yu Hai in the second half. His first senior goal came against Hangzhou Greentown on 17 June 2012, coming on as a substitute to score. He scored a second goal in the same match,which ensured that Guizhou secured a 5-0 home win.[3] He made sixteen appearances and scored two goals in the 2012 league season as the club achieved fourth place and gained the entry into the AFC Champions League.

International career

Yang was called up to the Chinese under-20 national team by Su Maozhen in June 2009.[4] He scored seven goals in five matches during the 2010 AFC U-19 Championship qualification.[5] He made three appearances for the under-20 side in the 2010 AFC U-19 Championship but did not score during the tournament. China lost to North Korea in the quarterfinals and failed to qualify for the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup because of the loss.

Yang was first called up to the Chinese under-22 national team in April 2012. He made his debut for the under-22 side on 9 May 2012 in a 2-2 friendly draw against Malawi. He scored his first goal for the team in his following match on 10 June 2012 as China beat Malaysia at Wuhan.[6] After some stellar performances, Yang was included in the squad for the 2013 AFC U-22 Asian Cup qualification. He scored in the opening match against the host team Laos on 23 June 2013.[7]
