Xie Silida (Chinese: 謝思利達 ; born 19 June 1990 in Kunming, Yunnan, China), is a Chinese footballer who plays for Hong Kong First Division League club Tuen Mun. He plays mainly as a center-back but has also played as a defensive midfielder on some occasions.

Club career

Beijing Guoan

Xie joined Beijing Guoan youth academy after he left Yunnan Hongta, his hometown-based club. However, in 2010, he was informed that the club would not sign a professional contract with him.[1]

Tuen Mun

In the beginning of the 2010–11 season, Xie joined the newly promoted Hong Kong First Division side Tuen Mun, as a Chinese expatriates footballer.[2]

He made his debut for Tuen Mun in a home league match against NT Realty Wofoo Tai Po at Tuen Mun Tang Shiu Kin Sports Ground on 25 September 2010, which the team was defeated 2–1. Xie was the 68-minute substitute for Yuen Lap Cheung in the match. However, since Xie was counted as a foreign player while at the same 4 other foreign teammates were still in the team, according to the rules in that season, only 4 foreign players could be in playing for a team at the same time. As a result, Tuen Mun was penalise for a 0–3 defeat.[3] Xie started for the first time and eventually scored his first goal for Tuen Mun on 24 October 2010, an away league match against TSW Pegasus at Yuen Long Stadium. However, the goal was not enough to win the match, as they lost 1–2.[4]

On loan Hong Kong Sapling

In February 2012, Xie was loaned to another First Division side Hong Kong Sapling until the end of the season.[5]

Back to Tuen Mun

He made his debut of the season on 20 October 2012, in a home league match against Biu Chun Rangers at Tuen Mun Tang Shiu Kin Sports Ground, as a 90-minute substitute for Yip Tsz Chun.
