Club career

edit

At the beginning of the 2008 Chinese Super League season Yang Boyu transferred to the senior team of Dalian Shide F.C. after graduating from their youth team. His senior debut with Dalian on 25 June 2008 against Liaoning FC resulted in a 2–1 win.[2] As a promising defender, Yang Boyu was one of the shining stars of the bleak season for the club regardless of his narrow escape from relegation.[3] At the beginning of the 2009 Chinese Super League, Yang Boyu became a vital member of the squad as he went on to establish himself within the team's defence and aided Dalian to an eighth-place finish.[4]

On 26 February 2015, Yang transferred to fellow Chinese Super League side Shanghai SIPG.[5] On 1 July 2016, Yang was loaned to Chinese Super League side Changchun Yatai until 31 December 2016.[6]

On 13 February 2017, Yang moved to fellow Super League side Jiangsu Suning.[7] On 1 March 2017, he made his debut for Jiangsu in the 2017 AFC Champions League against Adelaide United, coming on as a substitute for Li Ang in the 64th minute.[8] He made his league debut for the club on 5 March 2017 in a 4–0 away defeat against Shanghai Shenhua.[9] He established himself as a regular within the team and by the end of the 2020 Chinese Super League season, he won the club's first league title.[10] On 28 February 2021, the parent company of the club, Suning Holdings Group, announced that operations were going to cease immediately due to financial difficulties.[11]

On 26 February 2021, Yang joined a fellow top-tier club, Wuhan, on a free transfer.[12] He made his debut in a league game on 19 July, 2021 against Shanghai Port F.C. in a 0-0 draw.[13] This was followed by his first goal for the club, which was in a league game on 12 December 2021, against Cangzhou Mighty Lions F.C. in a 4-2 victory.[14] After one season with the club, he moved to another top-tier club in Shenzhen on 18 April 2022.[15] He went on to make his debut in a league game on 9 October 2022 against Shanghai Shenhua in a 0-0 draw.[16]
