Dong Chunyu (Chinese: 董春雨; pinyin: Dǒng Chūnyǔ; born 25 March 1991) is a Chinese footballer who plays as a left-footed goalkeeper for Zhejiang Pro in the Chinese Super League.

Club career

Dong Chunyu started his football career when he played for Shenzhen Jianlibao's and Xiamen Lanshi's youth academies between 2004 and 2007. He moved to Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Pharmaceutical's youth academy in 2008 after Xiamen Lanshi was dissolved and he was promoted to the club's first team in December 2009. He played as backup for Li Shuai during the 2010 league season. The next season, as Yang Jun transferred to the club, Dong became the third-choice goalkeeper within the squad. He moved to the club's youth team Guangzhou Youth to play in the China League Two for the 2011 season. Dong returned to the first team in 2012 and made his debut in the first leg of 2012 Chinese FA Cup semi-finals in which Guangzhou beat Liaoning Whowin 1-0, coming on as a substitute for Li Shuai.

On 23 January 2013, Dong was loaned to China League One side Shenyang Zhongze for the next two seasons.[2] He played sixteen league matches for Shenyang in the 2013 season; however, he became the third-choice goalkeeper in the 2014 season after former teammate Yang Jun joined the club. In July 2014, his loan deal was ended in advance and he returned to Guangzhou. Dong was excluded from Guangzhou's first team squad in the 2016 season. Dong transferred to China League One side Beijing Enterprises in February 2017.

On 24 January 2019, Dong transferred to Super League newcomer Wuhan Zall.[3] He would make his debut on 1 March 2019 against Beijing Sinobo Guoan F.C. in a league game that ended in a 1-0 defeat.[4] After the game he would establish himself as the clubs first choice goalkeeper throughout the season and help keep the club in the division. The following season would see the club fight against relegation and while he would play his part in ensuring the team remained within the division the next campaign saw Dong dropped into a reserve goalkeeper position. On 18 April 2022 he would join top tier club Shenzhen.[5] He would go on to make his debut in a league game on 7 July 2022 against Cangzhou Mighty Lions F.C. in a 2-1 victory.[6]

International career

Dong received his first call-up to the Chinese under-22 national team in April 2012 and made his debut against Malawi on 9 May 2012.[7]
