Club career

Shenzhen Jianlibao

Fan Xiaodong started his professional football career when he joined Chinese Super League team Shenzhen Jianlibao in the 2005 league season. He would have to wait until the 2006 league season before he would make his league debut against Inter Xian on July 12, 2006 in a 2–2 draw, coming on as a second-half substitute.[1] Gradually establishing himself throughout the season he would eventually play in 4 league games for Shenzhen, however it was in the 2007 Chinese Super League season that Fan Xiaodong establish himself as prominent member of the Shenzhen team by playing in 21 league games and help them avoid relegation.[2] Being one of the few bright aspects in what was a disappointing season for Shenzhen, Fan Xiaodong was allowed to continue and develop for Shenzhen in the following season by playing in a further 21 league games whilst also scoring his first goal against Changchun Yatai on November 2, 2008 in a 4–2 defeat.[3]

Hangzhou Greentown

He would make his debut against Qingdao Jonoon on March 22, 2009 in a 2–1 win in Hangzhou's first game of the season.[4] Throughout the season Fan would be used as a squad player as the club struggled within the league and finished within the relegation zone, however they were given a reprieve along with Chongqing Lifan after it was discovered that Chengdu Blades and Guangzhou F.C. had fixed matches and were relegated instead as punishment.[5] Fan would soon gain more playing time and score his first goal for his club on April 10, 2010 in a league game against Shanghai Shenhua where Hangzhou lost 2–1.[6] By the end of the season Hangzhou came fourth within the league and qualified for the 2011 AFC Champions League for the first time where he played in all six games as they were knocked out in the group stages.[7]
