Club career

Lin started his professional football career in 2011 when he was promoted to Shanghai Zobon's squad for the 2011 China League Two campaign. He joined Chinese Super League's newcomer Shanghai Dongya in 2013. On 8 March 2013, he made his Super League debut for Shanghai Dongya, in a 4–1 away defeat against Beijing Guoan, coming on as a substitute for Lü Wenjun in the 67th minute.[1]

On 21 May 2013, Lin scored his first goal and provided an assist for Shanghai Dongya in the third round of 2013 Chinese FA Cup which Shanghai beat Chongqing Lifan in the penalty shootout.[2] Failing to establish himself in the striker position, he swifted to winger, attacking midfielder and defensive midfielder under manager Sven-Göran Eriksson and to full-back under manager André Villas-Boas.[3][4] On 14 April 2018, Lin scored his second goal for the club in the last group stage match of 2018 AFC Champions League which Shanghai SIPG lost to Melbourne Victory 2–1.[5][6]

On 31 March 2021, Lin transferred to fellow top-tier club Cangzhou Mighty Lions for the start of the 2021 Chinese Super League campaign.[7] He would go on to make his debut for the club on 21 April 2021 in a league game against Qingdao F.C. in a 2–1 defeat.[8] He would go on to establish himself as regular within the team by making 19 appearances for the club throughout the season.
