Biography
Fang Jingqi (simplified Chinese: 方镜淇; traditional Chinese: 方鏡淇; pinyin: Fāng Jìngqí; born 17 January 1993) is a Chinese footballer who currently plays for Guangzhou Evergrande in the Chinese Super League.
Club career
Fang Jingqi started his football career with China League Two side Dongguan Nancheng in 2011. Playing as the backup goalkeeper to Yang Chao, Fang made seven appearances in the group stage as Dongguan Nancheng finished the fourth place in the south group and entered the playoffs stage. He did not appear in any of the playoff matches as Dongguan lost to Chongqing F.C. 3-0 on aggregate in the semifinals which meant they failed to promote to China League One directly. The team then lost to Fujian Smart Hero 2-0 in the third place playoff match and failed to enter the relegation playoff. Although Fang became the first choice goalkeeper of the team in 2012, he played just ten league matches and two cup matches as he spent most of his time with the Chinese under-20 national team.
Fang transferred to Chinese Super League giant Guangzhou Evergrande along with his teammates Liao Lisheng, Yang Chaosheng, Li Weixin, Hu Weiwei, Zhang Xingbo and Wang Rui in November 2012. He made his debut for the club on 16 February 2014 against Guizhou Renhe in a 1-0 loss in the 2014 Chinese FA Super Cup.
