Liao Jintao (; born 24 February 2000) is a Chinese footballer currently playing as a midfielder for Guangzhou FC.
Liao Jintao played for the Guangzhou youth team before he joined third tier club Wuhan Three Towns for the 2019 China League Two campaign.[1] After only one season he returned to Guangzhou where he was utilized sparingly in cup matches before joining second tier club Kunshan on 26 April 2022.[2] He had a run of several games within the team and was part of the squad that won the division and promotion to the top tier at the end of the 2022 China League One campaign.[3]
In April 2023, Liao returned to Guangzhou, now in the second tier, following the dissolution of Kunshan for the start of the 2023 China League One campaign. He made his debut in a league game on 23 April 2023 against Liaoning Shenyang Urban in a 0-0 draw.[4] This was followed by his first career goal, which was in a league game on 28 June 2023 against Jiangxi Lushan F.C. in a 2-1 victory.[5]
