Wang Xiaoshi (simplified Chinese: 王小诗; traditional Chinese: 王小詩; pinyin: Wáng Xiǎoshī; born January 5, 1982) is a former Chinese football player who currently plays as a versatile defender or striker.

Club career

Wang Xiaoshi started his professional football career with Wuhan Guanggu after graduating from their youth team in the 2000 league season. During his time with Wuhan, he would be part of the team that gained promotion into the Chinese Super League after the club won the 2004 division title.[1] With the club he would also go on to win the Chinese Super League cup with them at the end of the 2005 league season, however it wasn't until the 2006 league season in which Wang would established himself as being a vital member of Wuhan's defense. By the 2007 league season Wang was a constant regular for Wuhan, however his time with the club would be cut short when in the 2008 Chinese Super League season the club had a dispute with the Chinese Football Association after the club's management did not accept the punishment given to them by the Chinese Football Association after a scuffle broke out during a league game against Beijing Guoan on September 27, 2008 that saw the club decide to disbanded from the league.[2]

Without a club to play for at the beginning of the 2008 Chinese Super League season Wang Xiaoshi transferred to the newly promoted Guangzhou Pharmaceutical for 1.6 million yuan.[3] Within his first season he would quickly go on to establish himself as vital member within the team's defence and aid the club to a mid-table finish. The next season saw Wang have a terrible game against Hangzhou Greentown and the club's manager Shen Xiangfu would take him off during the game, much to Wang's displeasure, this led to public falling out between the manager and Wang's departure from the first team where he was replaced by Bai Lei within the team's defence.[4] The situation only got worst for him as the club were relegated at the end of the 2009 league season and the club's new manager Lee Jang-Soo decided to drop Wang into the team's reserves and only offered him a single game within the whole of the 2010 league campaign.

Even though Guangzhou would win the division title Wang would seriously consider retiring until he decided to remain within the second tier when he joined Hubei Oriental at the beginning of the 2011 league season.[5]

Wang announced his retirement on 2 December 2012.[6]
