Yan Bingliang

As part of the Wanda Group's youth initiative, he spent time in the academies of Villarreal and Atlético Madrid before a spell with Shandong Taishan's youth side, with whom he won the Weifang Cup in 2018. A return to Spain followed in July 2019, when he signed for CD Roda in the Tercera División, though he never made an official appearance for the club and eventually made his way back to China.

He joined Tianjin Jinmen Tiger on a free transfer in April 2022, and it took until November of that year for him to make his debut: he came on as a substitute against Hebei FC in a match his side won 5–0, still without a senior cap for the Chinese national team despite representing the country at under-19 and under-23 level.

His clearest moment in the spotlight came in the 2024 Chinese FA Cup, in the fourth round against Yunnan Yukun, where he saved a penalty in the shootout and was named Man of the Match.
