Chen Yongbin (; born 21 January 1999) is a professional football player from China who currently serves as a midfielder for Qingdao Red Lions.
Club career
Starting his football journey in the amateur leagues of Dezhou and Qingdao, Chen transitioned to the professional ranks by joining Qingdao Red Lions in 2018. In October 2019, he secured a loan move to the youth squad of Australian club Adelaide United. This transfer sparked skepticism within Australian media outlets, which expressed doubts about his preparedness for professional competition due to his limited prior playing experience.
Although the loan was announced in October, Chen's arrival in Australia was postponed until December 2019, nearly seven weeks later. During his time with Adelaide United's youth team, his on-field involvement was minimal, accumulating only thirty-six minutes over three substitute appearances. Notably, he spent a significant portion of this period fulfilling the role of an impromptu assistant referee rather than actively participating in matches.
Returning to Qingdao Red Lions in October 2020, Chen made his debut in China League Two the following month. He entered as a substitute in the second half during a 2–1 defeat against Nanjing City.
