Adelaide United provides the following update to its playing squad for the Hyundai A-League 2019/20 season.

The Club can confirm it has added Chinese footballer, Yongbin Chen, to its playing squad for the current Hyundai A-League season.

The 20-year-old offensive midfielder joins the Reds from Qingdao Red Lions and will arrive in Australia shortly subject to his visa clearance.

Adelaide United Chairman, Piet van der Pol, said: “We are very happy to finalise our squad with the addition of Yongbin Chen.

“During our scouting processes, we had looked at a couple of other possible signings, however decided upon Chen as we believe he is one of the most promising young talents at Qingdao Red Lions.

“At 20 years of age, Chen is an offensive midfielder who has a lot of potential and we are excited to contribute to his development at Adelaide United.

“This is consistent with our approach to developing youth talent and we hope to continue this in the future.”
