As the long season comes to an end, the players are taking a break and the clubs are preparing their lineups for the new season. Recently, there has been strong news from Wuhan that the Wuhan club is expected to sign former Harbor forward Hu Jinghang to strengthen the team's offense.
Born in 1997 in Ezhou City, Hu Jinghang has been trained at Chongming Genbao Football Base since his childhood, and has joined Shanghai Seaport Football Club together with many other players of the same age. He, the striker once known as "Wu Lei II", is actually different from his "elder brother" Wu Lei in many technical styles. Hu Jinghang, who can play as a center forward as well as a winger and was a main member of the U22 national Olympic team, had a career highlight in 2017, not only winning the Tianjin National Games Boys' U20 Group Championship with the Shanghai All-Championship team, but also winning the Super League Best Newcomer Award for his five goals after returning to the club.
However, Hu spent most of the last few seasons on loan, before joining Wuhan for one season in 2020. Last season, Hu gradually seized the opportunity and played for the harbor team against Taishan in the final of the AFC Cup. With the desire to seek more opportunities and "return to his roots", Hu Jinghang, whose contract is about to expire, is unlikely to renew his contract with the Harbor team for the new season. The youngster who once vowed that "all the kids in Hubei dream of playing for Wuhan" is now bravely moving towards a new goal.
