Zhang Yuxuan (Chinese: 张裕碹; pinyin: Zhāng Yùxuàn; born 24 January 1995) is a Chinese footballer currently playing as a midfielder for Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic.

Club career

Zhang joined the academy of Henan Construction in 2003, before a move to Shaanxi Chanba in 2008.[1] He spent time studying in Portugal between 2011 and 2013, and also represented the Shaanxi provincial side in 2013.[1][2]

In 2014, having returned to Chinese Super League side Shaanxi Chanba, now known as Beijing Renhe, he was loaned to Taiyuan Zhongyou Jiayi, and continued this loan into 2015, when the club was renamed Nei Mongol Zhongyou.[3] He returned to Portugal in 2018, signing with Aves, before immediately being loaned to Campeonato de Portugal side Montalegre, where he made four appearances.

On his return to China, Zhang went on trial with former clubs Beijing Renhe and Henan Jianye. Despite impressing on trial with the latter, including scoring in a friendly match against Tianjin TEDA, he was not offered a contract, as Henan Jianye had a lot of players in his position, and he did not have the advantage of being an under-23 player.[4]

He then spent over 73 days on trial with Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic, from April to July 2020.[5] He was eventually offered a contract, and signed with the club on 31 July 2020.[1]
