Club career
Wuhan Guanggu
Xie Zhiyu started his professional football career with Wuhan Guanggu after graduating from their youth team in 2007. The following season saw him steadily establish himself within the squad, however this was cut short after the sudden disbanding and relegation of Wuhan Guanggu in the Chinese Super League after the club's management did not accept the punishment given to them by the Chinese Football Association after a scuffle broke out during a league game against Beijing Guoan on September 27, 2008.[1]
Hangzhou Lücheng
At the beginning of the 2009 season Xie Zhiyu transferred to Hangzhou Lücheng where he would make his competitive debut against Henan Construction on the 5th of April 2009 in a 2-0 defeat.[2] Xie would have a differcult debut season and could only score one goal throughout the 2009 campaign, which lead to him often finding himself playing as a substitute. When Wu Jingui was introduced as the team's new Head coach he moved Xie into midfield and the player would finally settle within the Hangzhou team as a regular.
