Club career
Liu was promoted to the first-team squad of Dalian Wanda in 1997. He represented China U20 in the 1998 AFC Youth Championship.[1] His position was replaced since Adilson's arrival, and sought for transfer in 2002.
In 2002, he moved to Dalian Sidelong.[2] A year later, he followed his manager Xu Hong and moved to Sichuan First City. In 2004, during a match against Beijing Guoan, Sui Dongliang's tackle caused serious fracture on his right leg.[3] As a result, he was unable to play for an entire year.
In 2006, he joined Changchun Yatai,[4] before returning to Dalian Shide in 2008.[4]
In 2010, he joined the newly-established Dalian Aerbin.[5][6] Since 2012, he has been working as manager after his retirement at Dalian Aerbin.[7] He managed Dalian Yifang U19 team since 2019, and gradually promoted to the U21 team. In 2022, Dalian Pro U21 team would compete as an independent club named Dalian Jinshiwan, and Liu remained the manager of the team.
