Jiang Wenhao (Chinese: 江文豪; born 16 January 2000) is a Chinese footballer currently playing as a midfielder or left-back for Beijing Guoan.
Jiang Wenhao was promoted to the senior team of Beijing Guoan within the 2020 Chinese Super League season. He would make his debut in a Chinese FA Cup game on 28 November 2020 against Chengdu Better City in a 1–0 victory.[1]
He was given an opportunity to participate in senior games when he was part of the AFC Champions League squad, which was a mix of reserves and youth players to participate within centralized venues while the clubs senior players were still dealing with self-isolating measures due to COVID-19.[2] He made his continental debut in an AFC Champions League game on 26 June 2021 against United City F.C. in a 1–1 draw.[3][4] In the 2–3 reverse fixture loss on 8 July 2021, Jiang scored his first senior goal inside the first minute, dispossessing a United City player in midfield and breaking forward then taking a shot from just inside the area that bounced off Anthony Pinthus’ post and into the net.[5] It was Guoan's fastest ever goal in the AFC Champions League.[6]
The following campaign in 2022 league season he would be loaned out second-tier club Guangxi Pingguo Haliao on 17 August 2022. He made his first appearance for them in a league game on 18 August 2022 against Beijing Sport University in a 2–1 victory.[7]
Jiang returned to Guoan ahead of the 2023 season. He made his league debut for the club on 23 May 2023 in a 6–2 victory against Cangzhou Mighty Lions, coming on as a substitute in the 84th minute for Wang Ziming.[8][9] Jiang's role became more significant as the season progressed, playing 9 matches in a span of 10 games between July and August 2023, including starting in the match against rivals Shanghai Shenhua. However, he suffered a head injury only 15 minutes in the game, and required stitches.[10][11] He featured only once after the injury in the 2023 season.
Jiang had limited opportunities in the first half of the 2024 season with Guoan, appearing in only 3 games.[12] He was loaned out to fellow Chinese Super League club Changchun Yatai in July 2024 as he searched for more minutes.[13] At Changchun, Jiang took part in 6 games across league and cup, and returned to Guoan after the season concluded.[14]
In January 2025, ahead of the 2025 season, Jiang suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury on his left knee in a training match against Chongqing Tonglianglong. This was his second ACL injury on the same knee, with the first such injury occurring 7 years prior. He was expected to recover in 6 months.[15] Jiang returned from injury in style on 20 August 2025. He came on as a substitute in Guoan's Chinese FA Cup semi-final against Yunnan Yukun in the 69th minute and scored a left-footed stunner from outside the box with his first touch, extending the Guoan lead to 5–0 in a 7–0 victory.[16]
