At Wuhan he would make his debut on 25 July 2015 in a league game against Beijing Enterprises Group where he also scored his first professional goal in a 1-0 victory.[4] After gaining significant playing time at Wuhan he would join them again the following season before returning to Zhejiang. At Zhejiang would make his league debut for them on 12 March 2017 against Neo Mongol Zhongyou in a 3-2 victory where he also scored his first goal for the club.[5] He would go on to establish himself as a vital member of the team as they gained promotion to the top tier at the end of the 2021 China League One season through a play-off victory against Qingdao.[6]
