Yuan Zheng

Yuan Zheng (; born 18 January 1997) is a Chinese footballer.

Club career Born and raised in Nanjing, Yuan played for the Jiangsu regional team, representing them at the 2017 National Games of China. At the conclusion of the tournament he briefly joined the academy of Jiangsu Suning, but decided to remain with Hohai University instead of immediately pursuing a professional career. He went on to join Nanjing Shaye, representing them in the Chinese Champions League and China League Two, before moving to Portugal in February 2020 to join Gondomar.

He was initially assigned to the club's B team, playing in the Divisão de Elite in Porto, though he would only make one appearance in his first season, as the league was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Portugal. The following season he would go on to establish himself in the B team, while also occasionally playing in the Campeonato de Portugal for the first team.

On his return to China, he had a spell with China League Two club Hubei Istar, before joining China League One club Suzhou Dongwu in mid-2022. In 2024 he was loaned to Wuxi Wugo. He joined Lanzhou Longyuan Athletic for the 2026 season, but his contract was mutually terminated on 8 July 2026.
