On the evening of April 11, a heavy transfer news in the soccer world quietly detonated - the Central League powerhouse Shaanxi Changan Athletic Salon officially announced that the former Henan Songshan Longmen star Du Changjie officially joined the team as a free agent, injecting new vitality into the team.
Du Changjie, 24, an outstanding representative of Henan Jianye's youth training camp, was spotted by Jia Xiuquan, the then head coach of Henan Songshan Longmen, at the age of 18, and stepped into the ranks of the first team, which was once regarded as the future star of Henan soccer. In the four seasons of Henan's first team, Du Changjie did not score many goals, but won the hearts of fans with his outstanding performance. In the new season, with the adjustment of the U23 policy, Du Changjie's playing time is limited, and he finally made a difficult choice to say goodbye to his mother team, where he has played for many years.
Since March, Du Changjie has been undergoing trials with the Shaanxi team, and with his outstanding performance in the trials, he managed to win the favor of the team and officially became a member of Shaanxi Chang'an Athletics.
