Yu Hai (Chinese: 于海; pinyin: Yú Hǎi; born 4 June 1987) is a Chinese footballer who currently plays for Guizhou Renhe in the Chinese Super League.

Club career[edit]

Starting his professional football career with Shaanxi Chanba, Yu Hai would make his debut against Qingdao Etsong on 16 May 2004 in a 2-2 draw.[1] Despite predominately playing as a substitute throughout the season, he played a significant part in Shaanxi's third place finish at the end of the season. By the following 2005 league season, he was establishing himself as a rising potential within the team and was starting in considerably more games within the team.

His agent Edmund Chu, who also represents Du Wei, would oversee Yu's move to Vitesse where he would make his debut in the Eredivisie on 18 March 2007 in a 2-0 defeat against FC Utrecht. His time at Vitesse was to prove unsuccessful as he was unable to establish himself within the team. He was released from Vitesse after the 2008 Summer Olympics, due to cruciate ligament damage in his left knee which suffered in July 2008.

Yu returned to Shaanxi Chanba at the beginning of the 2009 season where he played in twenty-nine league games and scored three goals at the end of the season. For the next few seasons, he was a firm regular for the side and at the beginning of the 2012 season he would be part of the team which decided to move cities when the team moved to Guizhou and renamed themselves Guizhou Renhe.[2]

International career[edit]

Yu Hai was a member of the Chinese under-23 national team and was expected to lead the team in the 2008 Summer Olympics, however he was dropped from the team due to cruciate ligament damage. He would still eventually grauduate to the senior team when he returned to Chinese football and gained regular playing time with Shaanxi Chanba, his form for the club would see him make his international debut against Saudi Arabia on 4 June 2009 in a 4-1 loss coming on as a substitute for Wang Xinxin.[3] Despite the defeat, Yu would go on to establish himself as the team's first choice left-winger and go on to be included in the squad that won the 2010 East Asian Football Championship. This would then lead to a call-up for the squad that took part in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup.
