Return to Shijiazhuang Gongfu

On 18 January 2024, Wang returned to China League One club Shijiazhuang Gongfu.

International career

Wang was called up by then manager Vladimir Petrović to his squad where he gave him his international debut in a 0–0 draw against Lebanon on 20 January 2008. Playing in several further friendlies, Wang was often playing as a left midfielder and was unable to make much of an impression within the team before he was dropped from the squad. After several years out of the international scene, then manager Gao Hongbo called him up to the national team and included him in the squad that took part in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup.
