Club career

edit

Jin started his professional football career in 2013 when he was promoted to Chinese Super League side Dalian Aerbin's first team squad.[2] On 13 August 2014, he made his league debut for Dalian Aerbin in the 2014 Chinese Super League against Guangzhou Evergrande in a 2-1 defeat.[3] Throughout the campaign he was given the chance to play in several games, however he was unfortunately part of the squad that was relegated to the second tier at the end of the league season.[4] The following season Jin would establish himself as a regular within the team's midfield and by the end of the 2017 league season he would be a vital member of the squad that won the division championship and promotion back into the top tier.[5]

On 14 February 2019, Jin transferred to Chinese Super League newcomer Shenzhen.[6] He would go on to make his debut for Shenzhen in a league game against Hebei China Fortune F.C. on the 2 March 2019 in a 3-1 victory.[7] This would be followed by his first goal for the club, which was in a league game on 20 April 2019 against Beijing Renhe in a 2-2 draw.[8] While Jin would establish himself as a regular within the team, he would be part of the squad that finished in the relegation zone, however the club was given a reprieve after fellow top tier club Tianjin Tianhai was dissolved after the 2019 season.[9] In the following campaign, Jin would only be an infrequent member of the squad.

On 7 April 2021, Jin was loaned out to fellow top tier club Hebei for the 2021 Chinese Super League campaign.[10] On 19 July 2021 he would make his debut for the club in a league game against Changchun Yatai F.C. in a 2-1 victory.[11] At the end of the campaign he would establish himself as a regular within the team before returning to Shenzhen.
