Zhu Ting (Chinese: 朱挺; pinyin: Zhū Tǐng; born July 15, 1985 in Dalian, Liaoning) is a Chinese international footballer who currently plays for Dalian Shide as a striker.
[edit] Club career
Originally starting his career with Dalian Shide in the 2002 league season he was unable to play in any league games and he was given the chance to start his professional career with second tier side Dalian Changbo on a loan move in 2004 where in his first season he played 17 games and scored 1 goal.[1] Moving back to Dalian Shide the following season he was given the chance to prove himself by the Dalian manager Vladimir Petrović and despite only playing in a handful of games he would still be part of the squad that won the league and cup double at the end of the season.[2] The next season saw him go on to establish himself as the teams regular striker, however despite not being a prolific scorer, Zhu won praise for his speed, determination and high work rate until the end of the 2008 league season when Dalian struggled within the league and there were question marks with his future even in July 2009, Dalian was rumoured to have accepted a deal from Croatian club HNK Hajduk Split to loan Zhu for a rumoured fee of €120,000 with a view for a permanent deal in the future.[3] The deal never materialized and Zhu had to fight for his place within Dalian the team once again.
[edit] International career
After a good goalscoring season with Dalian Shide Zhu Ting made would make his senior international debut on October 11, 2006 in a 2007 AFC Asian Cup qualification game against Palestine in a 2-0 victory.[4] His performances where good enough to be included into the Chinese squad for the 2007 AFC Asian Cup.[5]
