Club career
In 2014 Dong Yu started his professional footballer career with Chinese Super League side Hangzhou Greentown in 2014, where he initially started his youth career as a forward. He made his league debut for Hangzhou on 6 April 2014 in a league game against Guizhou Renhe that ended in a 2-1 victory.
