Career
Early career
Born in Xi'an,[1] his senior career began at Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic, where he was a member of a 2016 China Amateur Football League squad that won promotion to the 2017 China League Two.[2]
Yao spent 2017 and 2018 in the reserve team of China League One club Dalian Transcendence,[3][4] before a move to the reserve team of fellow China League One side Inner Mongolia Zhongyou the following year.[5] In 2020, Yao played for Qinghai Oulu International in the 2020 CMCL season.[6]
Shanxi Longjin
In 2021, Yao signed for China League Two club Shanxi Longjin after a trial at the club,[7] and made his debut against Hebei Kungfu in the first game of the season on 16 May 2021.[8] Yao quickly became a starter for the club,[9] as they went unbeaten in the first stage of the season.[10] Yao scored his first senior goal on 17 July 2021 in a game against Dandong Tengyue.[11]
Guangxi Pingguo Haliao
Following Shanxi Longjin's dissolution in April 2022,[12] Yao joined China League One club Guangxi Pingguo Haliao.[13] In his 12 league games, Yao provided 1 assist for the club.[14]
Dandong Tengyue
In 2023, Yao made a move to newly promoted China League One side Dandong Tengyue.[14] Yao made 27 appearances in the league,[14] where he provided a vital assist against Guangzhou to secure survival for Dandong.[15] On 23 June 2023, Yao scored a 90th-minute equaliser to put a Chinese FA Cup tie against Qingdao Hainiu to penalties, but it would end in a loss for Yao's Dandong Tengyue in the shoot-out.[16]
Shaanxi Union
On 1 January 2024, Shaanxi Union announced that Yao had signed for the club on a two-year contract.[14]
