Chen Yongbin (simplified Chinese: 陈勇傧; traditional Chinese: 陳勇傧; pinyin: Chén Yǒngbīn; born 21 January 1999) is a Chinese footballer currently playing as a midfielder for Qingdao Red Lions.
Club career
[edit]Having played amateur football in Dezhou and Qingdao, including playing five-a-side football, Chen joined professional side Qingdao Red Lions in 2018.[1][2] In October of the following year, he joined Australian side Adelaide United on loan, being assigned to their youth team.[1] The move came under scrutiny from Australian media, who accused Adelaide United of tokenism, as they did not believe Chen was good enough to ever play for the side, as he had never played professionally before.[3]
Chen's move to Australia was delayed, and he only arrived in early December 2019, nearly fifty days after the signing had been announced.[4] He made his debut for Adelaide's youth team as a substitute in the Y-League later in the same month, but only managed a further two substitute appearances, for a total of thirty-six minutes.[5][6] He spent more time as a makeshift linesman than he did playing during his time in Australia.[6]
He returned to China and the Qingdao Red Lions in October 2020, and went on to make his debut in the China League Two the following month, coming on as a second-half substitute for Deng Yu'nong in a 2–1 loss to Nanjing City on 15 November.[2]
