The current situation of the first team shows that Taishan team is in urgent need of strengthening the power of the front line. Last season, Guo Tianyu's form plummeted, it is difficult to play the role of the main center, recently there have been many voices rumors that the new season Guo Tianyu may be loaned out of the team. In view of this, Taishan team at least in the winter window to introduce a local striker. Recently, the media revealed that Taishan's music department is interested in bringing in former Wuhan Changjiang striker Hu Jinghang. Hu Jinghang, a 25-year-old player, has been receiving soccer training at the Genbao Soccer School since his childhood. With the acquisition of Dongya FC by Shanghai, he joined Shanghai (now renamed Shanghai Port) along with his teammates.In the 2016 season, at the age of just 19, Hu Jinghang made it to the first team of Harbour and made his mark in the AFC Champions League. However, due to the fact that Harbour had many foreign strikers, such as Hulk, Hu struggled to gain a foothold in the team.In 2017, he was loaned to Henan Jianye, and after joining the Henan team, Hu broke out quickly. This season, he played 27 CSL matches on behalf of Henan, contributing 3 goals and 4 assists. With his outstanding performance in the league, Hu Jinghang was also awarded the Best Newcomer Award in the CSL by the FA in 2017.In 2018, he returned to Shanghai Port, but still could not stabilize his position in the team. After one season, he only appeared in 11 CSL matches as a substitute, contributing one assist and no goals scored. The next few seasons, Hu Jinghang failed to restore the glory of the 2017 season. Last season, Hu returned to his hometown of Wuhan after his contract expired and joined Wuhan Changjiang. In 29 Super League games, he scored 1 goal and contributed 4 assists. It is worth mentioning that in the first match against his old team, Hu Jinghang was infringed by Xu Xin of Harbor Team, which led to Xu Xin being sent off with a red card, which made Xu Xin, who was newly joined to Harbor Team, cold-shouldered by coach Leko. At the beginning of this year, Wuhan Changjiang announced the dissolution of the club, Hu Jinghang also lost his job. It is reported that several Chinese Super League clubs, including Shandong Taishan, are interested in bringing in the former Seaport winger. Hu Jinghang, who is 1.83 meters tall, is capable of playing as a center forward and winger. He is in the prime of his career and is the most urgently needed player for Taishan. Now, he is only 25 years old, with his own characteristics, favored by Taishan club. If Taishan can successfully waive Hu Jinghang, he will become the second seaport veteran to join Taishan after Shi Ke, the seaport defender who joined in the 2021 season. However, Taishan are still cautious about bringing in Hu Jinghang. Past experience has shown that their favorite players are often intercepted by seaport clubs, not to mention that Hu Jinghang was once a member of the seaport team.
