Jiang Zhipeng is a formidable left-back in Chinese football, known for his sharp dribbling, precise crosses, and consistently high-level competitive form, which has kept him among the top domestic left-backs. He entered the national team at the age of 24 in May 2013. Under coaches Alain Perrin, Gao Hongbo, and Marcello Lippi, his outstanding performances gradually made him the starting left-back for the national team, participating in the 2015 Asian Cup and the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in the Asian zone.
Born in March 1989 and nearing the age of 36, Jiang Zhipeng hails from Xu Genbao's youth training base. Throughout his career, he has played for Shanghai East Asia, Nanchang Hengyuan (Shanghai Shenxin), Guangzhou R&F, Hebei China Fortune, Shenzhen FC, and Wuhan Three Towns. With his stable performance and disciplined training and lifestyle, he has spent most of his career active in China's top league.
After the 2024 season, Jiang Zhipeng's contract with Wuhan Three Towns expired, leaving him as a free agent. Despite approaching 36 years old, he remains sought after in the Chinese Super League transfer market.
According to football media "Live Bar," including newly promoted Yunnan Yulong, no less than three teams have shown interest in signing him. However, it was eventually the second-year Chinese Super League team, Shenzhen New Pegasus, backed by the British City Football Group, that took the lead and successfully signed Jiang Zhipeng.
Recently, Jiang Zhipeng has arrived in Shenzhen to embark on a new journey. Here, we also wish this former national team player all the best for his future!
