Zhou Tong (Chinese: 周通; born 12 January 1990) is a Chinese professional footballer who plays as a winger for New Zealand club Auckland City.
Zhou started his senior career with China League Two side Shijiazhuang Tiangong in 2008. He moved to another League Two club Dalian Aerbin in 2009. He became the key player of the club, helping Dalian Aerbin win two successive championships as the team won promotion into Chinese Super League.He scored his first CSL goal on 24 March 2012, in a 3-3 away draw against Shandong Luneng Taishan.[2] Zhou's Dalian career ended in acrimony when, in a crucial relegation battle against Tianjin Teda, Zhou removed his shirt in celebration of scoring the opening goal, notwithstanding a booking he had received earlier in the game. Dalian went on to lose the game 1-2 and were subsequently relegated at the end of the season.[3] The following season, Zhou was not registered in the first team.
On 11 July 2015, Zhou transferred to Chinese Super League side Tianjin Teda.[4] He made his debut on 12 August 2015 in a 1–1 away draw against Shijiazhuang Ever Bright, coming on for Yuan Weiwei in the 61st minute.[5]
On 2 February 2018, Zhou transferred to China League One side Wuhan Zall.[6] He would be an integral member of the squad and help gain promotion to the top tier for the club by winning the 2018 China League One division.[7]
On 6 March 2023, Zhou joined Auckland City in the New Zealand Football Championship.[8]
