After five seasons with the Hebei, on 11 April 2022 he joined newly promoted top tier club Meizhou Hakka.[5] He would go on to make his debut in a league game on 13 June 2022 against Shenzhen in a 2-1 victory.[6] This would be followed by his first goal for the club, which was in a league game on 29 June 2022 against Cangzhou Mighty Lions in a 4-1 victory.[7]
