Club career
Born in Dalian, Liaoning, Li started playing football at the age of eight.[3] His mother took him to Spain, Germany, and France, before deciding that the Netherlands would be the best place for her son to pursue a career in football.[3] He moved to the Netherlands at the age of twelve, training with an amateur side for over a year before passing a trial with professional side ADO Den Haag.[3]
In February 2020, he suffered a serious injury to his knee, keeping him out for almost a year.[4] Despite this, he recovered to sign his first professional contract with ADO Den Haag in January 2021, a three-and-a-half-year deal.[5]
In January 2023, he was loaned to Danish side Vejle.[2][6] He made his debut for Vejle in June 2023 and at the end of the season, the Li made a permanent move to Vejle.[7] On 13 September 2023, Vejle confirmed that Li had been sold to an unnamed Croatian club.[8] The club was later revealed as NK Dubrava.
In July 2025, Li returned to China and joined Chinese Super League club Tianjin Jinmen Tiger.[9]
