High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yang Lin (born March 14, 1981 in Dalian) is a Chinese footballer. He currently plays for Dalian Haichang. Yang Lin started his professional football career with Shanghai United F.C. in 2003 where he established himself as team a regular. He played a significant roll in the promotion of Shanghai United F.C. into the China Super League in the 2004 league season. At the beginning of 2007 he joined the newly promoted Henan Jianye in the China Super League where he had a very productive season where he played in 14 league games and scored one goal. After seeing Henan establish themselves as mid-table team the following season was to prove less successful for Yang Lin as he was only able to make seven appearances for Henan. After a personally disappointing season for Yang Lin which saw him lose his place at Henan he transferred to Dalian Haichang. At Dalian, Yang Lin would be utilized as a centre back due to his height for several games. He would returned to his position as a striker against Shenzhen F.C. in a league game which saw him score his first goal for Dalian.
