Yan Xiangchuang (simplified Chinese: 阎相闯; traditional Chinese: 閻相闖; pinyin: Yán Xiàngchuǎng; born 5 September 1986) is a Chinese professional footballer who last played as a forward for Dalian Young Boy. He is a former Chinese international.

Club career

After graduating through the Bayi youth team he would move to Beijing Guoan in 2004 to begin his professional football career. He eventually made his senior debut on May 26, 2004, against Shenyang Ginde.[1] A squad player at first he would show his attacking instincts when he scored his debut league goal against Inter Shanghai on September 11, 2005, in a 3–1 victory.[2] After playing in several attacking positions within the team he was moved to the right wing where his pace and attacking instincts would see him establish himself as an integral member of the team.

After helping Beijing progress each season higher within the league he would eventually help the team win the 2009 league title. The following season saw Yan unable to replicate the same success he had with the team and the club brought in Honduras international Walter Julián Martínez into the club. Martínez would go on to establish himself as the team's first choice right midfielder and during the 2011 league season Yan was allowed to go on loan to his home town of Dalian and join Dalian Shide for the rest of the season.[3]

On 3 July 2014, Yan transferred to Chinese Super League side Harbin Yiteng.[4] He would make his debut in a league game on 20 July 2014 against Guizhou Moutai in a 4–0 victory.[5] Unfortunately he would be part of the squad that was relegated at the end of 2014 Chinese Super League campaign.[6]

On 5 February 2015, Yan transferred to China League One side Beijing Enterprises Group.[7] He would establish himself as an integral member of the team for the next several seasons until his contract expired and on 21 April 2022 he joined top tier club Dalian Professional for the start of the 2022 Chinese Super League season.[8] He made his debut in a league game on 4 June 2022 against Henan Songshan Longmen in a match that ended in a 2–2 draw.[9]

International career

Yan Xiangchuang would be called up to the Chinese national team and would make his debut in a friendly against Tajikistan on June 26, 2010, in a 4–0 victory where he would also score in his debut.[10]
