Biography

Born in Shanghai, Yang Yun originally began his football career playing for the Shanghai Shenhua youth team, however he was unable to break into their senior team due to the merger with Shanghai United F.C. and the significant increase in the squad size.[1] Almost leaving the club he would instead be loaned out to Singapore side Liaoning Guangyuan FC to gain more playing opportunities. When he returned he would finally be promoted to the senior side and would go on to be scouted by Juventus F.C. before agreeing a loan move to second tier club Nanchang Bayi halfway through the 2009 league season.[2] Yang's move turned out to be a huge success and he helped guide the team to a runners-up position and promotion to the top tier.[3]

Yang Yun transferred to China League One club Chongqing Lifan in February 2011.
