Club Career

Ju Feng started his professional football career in 2013 when he joined Liaoning Youth for the 2013 China League Two. He played 13 league matches of 14 in the season under manager Yasuharu Kurata. Ju moved to Chinese Super League side Guangzhou R&F academy in January 2014 and transferred to Guangzhou Evergrande in the summer.

Ju played at Guangzhou Evergrande's reserved team until he was loaned to J2 League side Ehime FC for one season on 9 March 2017. Before joining Ehime FC, Ju also made trials with several J League clubs such as Montedio Yamagata, Mito HollyHock and Ventforet Kofu in 2016. On 21 June 2017, he made his debut for the club in a 2–1 home win against Kamatamare Sanuki in the second round of 2017 Emperor's Cup.

Ju transferred to newly relegated China League One side Changchun Yatai in February 2019. At Changchun, Ju was embroiled in a contract dispute with the club where he claimed that the initial draft of his contract with the club was to see him receive a 20% pay rise and not a pay cut of 97.5% instead. The club still pushed ahead with the players registration with the Chinese Football Association and demanded that he return to Changchun, however Ju claimed he never signed a contract with the club and returned to Guangzhou Evergrande.
