Hui Jiakang

Hui Jiakang (; born August 31, 1989, in Shenyang) is a former Chinese professional footballer.

Club career

Hui Jiakang started his football career after graduating from the Shenzhen youth team in 2008. He quickly established himself within the Senior Shenzhen Xiangxue team after he made his debut against Shandong Luneng in a 2–1 defeat on July 5, in the 2008 Chinese Super League season. At the end of the season, Hui Jiakang played thirteen league games and his club wanted to offer him a new long term-contract, however, he was dropped from the team after there was a dispute about pay with his new contract at the beginning of the 2009 football league season. Shenzhen held him to his remaining contract while the Chinese Football Association stipulated that Hui Jiakang is still contractually obliged to Shenzhen and cannot transfer unless it is to a foreign team.

Without any football for a whole season, he went off to train with Hungarian side Ferencvárosi TC until Chinese second-tier side Chengdu Blades took him at the beginning of the 2010 league season where he made his debut against Nanjing Yoyo on April 4, 2010, in a 3–0 victory. Throughout the season he would then play in fourteen league games as he aided the club to a runners-up spot within the division and promotion back into the top tier. The following season would see Hui back into the top tier where despite being a regular within the team he could not prevent the team finishing within the relegation zone at the end of the 2011 Chinese Super League season.

Tianjin TEDA

Following Chengdu's relegation, Hui joined fellow Chinese Super League club Tianjin Teda in 2012, and despite a difficult start, went on to establish himself as one of the club's iconic players of the decade. On 7 March 2012, he made his debut for the club in their opening game of the 2012 AFC Champions League group stage, a 0-0 home draw against Central Coast Mariners. On 25 June 2016, he finally scored his first goal for the club after 4 years, in a 1-1 away draw at Shanghai SIPG. On 28 April 2018, he made his 100th appearance for the club in a 1-0 home defeat against Beijing Renhe.

Changchun Yatai

On 13 April 2021, Hui joined fellow Chinese Super League club Changchun Yatai. He made his debut in a league game for Yatai on 22 April 2021, in a 2–1 win against Dalian Professional.

On 30 January 2024, Hui joined China League One club Liaoning Shenyang Urban.

International career

Hui Jiankang graduated through the Chinese U-20 team that took part in the AFC Youth Championship in 2008, where he played in 3 matches and scored 1 goal. Hui Jiakang would then graduate to senior side and made his debut in a 2008 friendly against Iran in a 2–0 loss coming on as a substitute. He made his second appearance for China nine years later on 10 January 2017 in the 2017 China Cup against Iceland.
