David Wang

David Wang (born 12 January 2000), known in China as Wang Jiahao (Chinese: 王佳豪), is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Nantong Zhiyun, as a winger.

He was included in The Guardian's "Next Generation 2017".

Club Career

Wang was born in Cuenca, Spain, and started his career with Mostoles. He was bought by newly-Chinese-owned Jumilla in 2016, but as they did not have a youth academy set up yet, he was loaned immediately to fellow Spanish side Real Murcia, before joining Josep Maria Gene on loan the following season. Wang signed for English Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers in January 2019, and was immediately loaned to Portuguese side Sporting.

After failing to secure a place in the Sporting CP youth team, having appeared seven times on the bench, he was recalled from loan. However, he was unable to obtain a UK work visa, and was sent back to Spain with Granollers.

Having only made three substitute appearances with Granollers, Wang was again recalled, and this time sent to China to join China League One side Nantong Zhiyun.

After one appearance for Nantong Zhiyun, Wang officially joined the club in February 2021 on a permanent transfer.
