Geng Xiaofeng (simplified Chinese: 耿晓锋; traditional Chinese: 耿曉鋒; pinyin: Gěng Xiǎofēng; born 15 October 1987) is a Chinese footballer who currently plays for Shanghai Shenhua in the Chinese Super League.

Club career

Geng Xiaofeng started his football career playing for Shandong Luneng's youth academy and would go on to join their first team when then manager Ljubiša Tumbaković promoted him to act as backup for Li Leilei and then later for Yang Cheng. After several seasons at the club, he did not make an appearance for Shandong until the 2012 league season when on 30 March 2012 in a 1-0 win against Qingdao Jonoon, then manager Henk ten Cate decided to replace Yang, who had made several mistakes in club's first two matches, with Geng whose debut for the club saw him have an outstanding performance.[1] Geng remained as the club's first-choice goalkeeper for the rest of the 2012 season and the 2013 season.

On 24 February 2014, Geng was loaned to fellow Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua until the end of 2014 season.[2] He made his debut for the club on 9 March 2014 in a 2-0 win against Shanghai Shenxin. On 29 December 2014, Geng signed with Shanghai on a permanent transfer.

International career

In June 2012, Geng received his first call-up to the Chinese national team for friendlies against Spain and Vietnam.[3] On 15 August 2012, he made his debut for China in a 1-1 draw against Ghana, coming on as a substitute for Zeng Cheng.[4]
