On 5 August 2009 he joined A-League side Wellington Phoenix on a season-long loan deal after trialling with the team.[1] On 17 October 2009 he made his debut for the Phoenix as a late substitute against North Queensland Fury.[2][3] On 29 December 2009, he was released early from his loan contract with the Phoenix. He was taken back by his Chinese team after Ricki Herbert did not hold up his end of the deal and get Jiang Chen fit and give him game time
