Shortly after joining Guangzhou Evergrande in 2014, he was named in English newspaper The Guardian as one of the most promising young footballers born in 1997.[1][2] Following a collapsed loan move to Wuhan Zall in 2018, Li sued Guangzhou Evergrande.[1]
He left Guangzhou Evergrande after six years, in 2019, and signed with China League Two side Zibo Cuju.[3] In 2020, he went on trial with Chinese Super League side Qingdao Huanghai, but ultimately would remain with Zibo Cuju for the 2020 season.[4]
In 2022, following one season with the club, it was announced that Li had left Inner Mongolia Caoshangfei.[5] He joined Shijiazhuang Gongfu, and made three appearances in the China League One in the 2022 season.[6]
