During the ACL 2005 game against Suwon Samsung Bluewings he would achieve his personal highlight when he scored with a fierce close shot from a cross to seal Shenzhen's place in the quarter-finals. After five seasons with Shenzhen he would transfer back to his first team Shanghai Pudong, who had moved to Xi'an, Shaanxi and renamed themselves Shaanxi Chanba). For the next several seasons he would go on to be a vital member of the team, however nearing the end of his career the club would allow Xin to leave for free to Shanghai Shenhua.
