Club career
In 2011, Liu Yang started his professional footballer career with Shandong Luneng in the Chinese Super League.[1] He would eventually make his league debut for Shandong on 29 October 2011 in a game against Shenzhen Ruby, coming on as a substitute for Han Peng in the 90th minute.[2] Under the Head coach Henk ten Cate, Liu would start to become a regular within the squad, however the club finished in a disappointing twelfth in the 2012 Chinese Super League campaign and under the new manager Radomir Antić he would lose his place within the first team.[3]
On 30 December 2013, Liu transferred to China League One side Wuhan Zall with a fee of ¥3,500,000.[4] After only one season and the chance to join another top tier club, Liu left Wuhan to join Guizhou Renhe where he would make his debut in a league game on 7 March 2015 against Liaoning Whowin F.C. that ended in a 1–0 defeat.[5] While he would establish himself as a regular within the team by making twenty eight appearances within the league he was unfortunately a member of the squad that saw the club relegated at the end of the 2015 league season.[6] At the beginning of the 2016 league season the club would move cities to Beijing and rename themselves Beijing Renhe.[7] Zhu would stay with the team and at the end of the 2017 league season he was part of the squad that gained promotion back into the top tier.
Liu moved to Chinese Super League side Tianjin TEDA in February 2019.[8] He would make his debut in a league game on 8 March 2019 against Guangzhou Evergrande F.C. that ended in a 1–0 defeat.[9] After two seasons he would join fellow top tier club Cangzhou Mighty Lions on 8 April 2021.[10] He would make his debut in a league game on 21 April 2021 against Qingdao F.C. in a 2-1 defeat.[11] Despite the loss he would go on to establish himself a regular within the team by making 22 league appearances throughout the season.
