Zhang Zhang

Education

Zhang Wenzhao started his football career with Shenzhen Kingway in 2006 after he graduated from their youth academy.

Career

In his debut season, he would find significant playing time due to his versatility in his ability to play as a left winger and left back, allowing him to play in 12 league games. His ability to play on the left saw him establish himself within the Shenzhen squad the following 2007 league season and this would see him play in a further 25 league games for them. However, while a firmly established player for Shenzhen throughout the 2008 league season, he was unable to aid them from a second season which saw them flirt with relegation.

As an already established player, Zhang would attract interest from Changchun Yatai and would transfer to them at the beginning of the 2009 league season. As the season went on, Zhang would gradually establish himself a regular within the team. However, it wasn't until Shen Xiangfu became the club's manager the following season did he become a vital member within the team and play in four games in the 2010 AFC Champions League.

While within the league, he would go on to score his first goal for the club on 7 May 2010 when he scored against Henan Construction in a 3-2 defeat. In January 2014, Zhang signed with fellow Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng.
