Club Career

At Shanghai Shenhua, Gu's skills and hard-work would impress the coaching staff, while his teammates nicknamed him as "Junior Hidetoshi Nakata".Su Maozhen, the coach and former Chinese international footballer would view Gu Bin as a talented and promising young player who is fast, agile in dribbling and gifted with a left foot that can always break through opponent's defences. With these praises from the coaching staff it would see Gu Bin promoted to the senior team in the 2009 league season. This was followed by selection to the Chinese U19 national team before being sent to Atletico de Madrid to train with the reserve team and study Spanish football in 2010.

In July 2011, Gu was loaned to A Lyga side FK Suduva until 31 December. On 14 July 2011, Gu made his debut for FK Suduva in the last group match of the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League against IF Elfsborg. This would be followed by his league debut on 24 July 2011 against FK Siauliai in a 1-0 defeat. After his loan move Gu would return to Shenhua and the interim Head coach Florent Ibenge would hand him his debut on 28 April 2012 in a league game against Shandong Luneng, which ended in a 0-0 draw. In 2013, Gu would move to China League One side Chongqing F.C. on a one-year loan deal to gain more playing time. When he returned to Shenhua he was unused throughout the whole of the 2014 Chinese Super League campaign and was subsequently released at the end of the season.

Gu would join second tier club Shanghai Shenxin at the beginning of the 2016 league season on a free transfer and would go on to make his debut in a league game on 13 March 2016 against Dalian Transcendence F.C. that ended in a 3-1 defeat.
