Wang Xiaolong (simplified Chinese: 王晓龙; traditional Chinese: 王曉龍; pinyin: Wáng Xiǎolóng; born 11 March 1986) is a Chinese former footballer who played as winger.

Club career

Wang Xiaolong would play for Shandong Luneng's youth team before moving to the senior team and would eventually earn his senior team debut on 29 March 2006 in a game against Shenzhen Kingway. He would later score his first senior goal against Liaoning Hongyun on 27 September 2008 in a 4-2 victory.[1] With Shandong, he would twice win the league and the Chinese FA Cup, however he was unable to establish himself as a first choice player within the team and at the end of the 2009 season he was allowed to leave the club.

With the chance to return to his hometown and join reigning champions Beijing Guoan, Wang Xiaolong would make the switch from Shandong to Beijing at the beginning of the 2010 league season with teammate Wu Hao in a package deal.[2] On 18 February 2014, Wang transferred to fellow Chinese Super League side Guangzhou R&F.[3] He made his debut for the club in a 1-1 draw against Tianjin Teda on 9 March 2014. He scored his first two goals for the club on 31 July 2014 in a 5-1 win against Liaoning Whowin.

On 21 January 2017, Wang moved to Chinese Super League newcomer Tianjin Quanjian.[4]

In 2021, Wang retired from professional football and became a youth football coach.[5]

International career

In December 2006, Wang would be called up to the Chinese under-23 national team in preparation for the 2008 Summer Olympics and would play in several official and unofficial friendlies including a match where he scored a goal against Bayern Munich on 13 January 2008.[6] Wang would not go to the 2008 Summer Olympics, however, after he established himself at Beijing he would be promoted to the senior team on 3 June 2012 when he played against Spain in a 1-0 defeat.[7]
