Yang Lin (Chinese: 杨林; born March 14, 1981, in Dalian) is a retired Chinese football player. He is currently the manager of China League One club Shanghai Jiading Huilong.

Club career

Shanghai United

Yang Lin started his professional football career in 2002 with second tier football club Dalian Sidelong[1] and would go on to established himself as a regular as the club moved from Dalian to Zhuhai then to Shanghai while changing their name multiple times, eventually to Shanghai United.[2] He played a significant role in the promotion of Zhuhai Zobon into the China Super League in the 2004 league season.[3]

Henan Construction

At the beginning of 2007 he joined the newly promoted Henan Construction in the China Super League where he had a very productive season where he played in 14 league games and scored one goal.[2] After seeing Henan establish themselves as mid-table team the following season was to prove less successful for Yang Lin as he was only able to make seven appearances for Henan.[2]

Return to Dalian

After a personally disappointing season for Yang Lin which saw him lose his place at Henan he transferred to Dalian Shide. At Dalian, Yang Lin would be utilized as a centre back due to his height for several games.[4] He would return to his position as a striker against Shenzhen F.C. in a league game which saw him score his first goal for Dalian.[5] When his season long loan period ended he decided to stay in Dalian with the newly formed Dalian Aerbin F.C. and play within the third tier during the beginning of the 2010 league season.

International career

He made his debut for the senior national team on December 17, 2002, in a friendly against Syria in a 3–1 victory.[6] In 2007, he played in the early stages of the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification where he scored his first goal against Myanmar national football team, however since then he only made several further friendly appearances before being dropped from the team.[7]
