Hou Yu (Chinese: 侯宇; pinyin: Hóu Yǔ; born 30 December 1990) is a Chinese footballer who currently plays as a goalkeeper for Meizhou Hakka

Club career[]

Hou Yu would start his career with Guangdong Sunray Cave in the 2007 league season and was part of the squad that won promotion with the team at the end of the 2008 China League Two season.[1] He was often used as a substitute goalkeeper and was loaned out to Hong Kong football club Sun Hei where he had a successful period with them going on to establish himself as their first choice goalkeeper as they went on to win the 2011–12 Hong Kong Senior Challenge Shield cup with the club.[2] Within the match he would personally win the MVP award as Sun Hei won 5-3 on penalties against South China.[3] On his return to Guangdong, Hou was unable to go on to establish himself at his parent club and he joined third tier side Meizhou Hakka along with his teammate and fellow goalkeeper Li Weijun.[4]

At Meizhou, Hou was used as the substitute goalkeeper behind Li Weijun as the club went on to win the 2015 China League Two division and promotion into the second tier.[5] Li Weijun would retire at the end of the 2016 season and Hou was promoted to the clubs first choice goalkeeper where he quickly established himself as an integral member of the team as well as eventually becoming their captain.[6]
