Club career

Lu Lin was the product of the

Chinese U-20 football team and play in the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship.[1] Upon his return he would go on to establish himself as a regular with Guangzhou and was part of the team that won the 2007 China League One division and promotion to the 2008 Chinese Super League.[2]

Within the top tier Lu would help establish Guangzhou as mid-table regulars until the club was found guilty of

Guangdong Sunray Cave on a free transfer in February 2011 to gain more playing time. On 13 July, Lu Lin scored Guangdong's second goal in a friendly against Liverpool
in a 4-3 loss.

Lu signed a three-year-contract with

Guangzhou R&F in December 2011 and would go on to represent them on more than 100 occasions. Lu is from Guangzhou and during his long career has only played professional football for Guangzhou-based teams which, combined with his displays on the pitch, makes him a favourite of the fans.[5] This was confirmed on 8 May 2016 when Lu played his 300th competitive game for a professional team based in Guangzhou.[6] He extended his contract with the club until the end of 2018 on 7 November 2016.[7] On 26 April 2018, he extended his contract for another two years until the end of 2020 season.[8]

On 4 February 2021, Lu joined second tier club Meizhou Hakka on a free transfer.[9] He would go on to make his debut for the team in a league game on 25 April 2021 against Xinjiang Tianshan Leopard in a 2-1 victory.[10] He would go on to establish himself as a vital member of the team that gained promotion to the top tier after coming second within the division at the end of the 2021 China League One campaign.[11]

International career

He would rise to prominence when he was called up to the Chinese U-20 football team in the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship in the Netherlands and scoring a free kick in the 4-1 win over Panama in the group stage.[12]

Lu Lin has also represented Guangdong Province in the annual Guangdong-Hong Kong Cup, including in 2014 when his two goals helped Guangdong to victory.[13]
