Yang Zi (Chinese:杨子; Pinyin: Yáng Zǐ; born 6 August 1989 in Shenyang, Liaoning) is a Chinese football player who currently plays for Shenyang Zhongze in the China League One.
Club career
Yang joined Zhejiang Greentown youth team system in 2000. He started his professional football career in 2007 when he was sent to China League Two side Hangzhou Sanchao (Zhejiang Greentown Youth) and played as a regular center forward for the team. Yang was promoted to Hangzhou Greentown's first team squad by Wu Jingui in 2010. On 22 May, he made his Super League debut in a 2–1 home victory against Jiangsu Sainty, coming on as a substitute for Tan Yang in the 52nd minute.[1] In the 2011 league season, he didn't have too much chance to play for the first team and mainly appeared in the reserve team league. In the last four round of the season, he became the regular start forward of the club, replacing Luis Ramírez. On 11 August, Yang scored his first and second league goal for Hangzhou Greentown, however, Hangzhou eventually lost to Guangzhou Evergrande 3–2. His performance was highly appreciated by Takeshi Okada and Marcello Lippi, managers of the both sides.[2][3] In early September, he suffered a metatarsal fracture in his right foot in the training, ruling him out for the rest of the season.[4]
On February 2014, Yang transferred to China League One side Shenyang Zhongze.[5]
