Zhang Jiaqi (simplified Chinese: 张佳祺; traditional Chinese: 張佳祺; pinyin: Zhāng Jiāqí; born 3 September 1991) is a Chinese footballer who currently plays for Guangzhou Evergrande in the Chinese Super League.

Club career

Zhang Jiaqi started his football career playing for Le Mans' youth academy. He played for their reserve team before being promoted to the first team in 2012. Zhang made his debut for the club on 8 February 2013 in a 1-1 draw against Clermont Foot.[1] After starting three consecutive games, Zhang scored his first goal on 22 February 2013 in a 3-2 win against Niort which turned out to be the match winner.[2] Zhang became a mainstay in the team's starting eleven for the rest of the season; however, Le Mans was relegated to the third tier on the last day of the 2012-13 season. In November 2013, Swiss Super League side FC Sion announced Zhang had signed a contract with the club after Le Mans lost its professional status; however, Zhang could not register for the club because they had already reached the maximum 25 players allowed in the squad.[3]

On 27 February 2014, Zhang signed with Dalian Aerbin on a free transfer. He made his debut for the club on 30 April 2014 in a 1-1 draw against Guizhou Renhe.

On 24 December 2014, Zhang transferred to Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande after Dalian was relegated at the end of the 2014 season.[4] He played as a rotation player at the beginning of 2015 season. However, he didn't appear for Guangzhou after Luiz Felipe Scolari became the manager of the club in June 2015. Zhang was degraded to the reserve team squad in the 2016 season.[5]

International career

Zhang made his debut for the Chinese national team on 18 June 2014 in a 2-0 win against Macedonia.[6]
