Wei Xiangxin (Chinese: 魏祥鑫; born 5 March 2008) is a Chinese professional footballer who plays as a forward for China League One club Meizhou Hakka.

Born in Meizhou in the Chinese province of Guangdong, Wei was raised by his grandparents as his parents worked in Guangzhou and Shenzhen.[2]

Club career

Wei first took an interest in football in third grade, before joining a sports school in Wuhua County.[2] He joined the academy of Meizhou Hakka, where he played between under-10 and under-11 age groups, before representing the province of Guangdong at the National Games of China.[2] He joined Guangdong Mingtu for the 2024 season of the Chinese Champions League, helping the club earn promotion to China League Two.[3]

On 1 March 2025, Wei made his debut for Meizhou Hakka in the Chinese Super League, coming on as a late substitute for Yang Chaosheng in a 2–1 win against Henan FC.[4] In doing so, he became the first player born in 2008 to play in the league.[2] In just his second professional appearance, he scored his first goal for the club: a penalty in an eventual 2–2 draw with Zhejiang on 16 April.[5] Later in the same month, he was invited to trial with Chinese-owned French club Auxerre.[6]

On 23 November 2025, one day after Meizhou Hakka's relegation to China League One, it was announced that Wei was set to join Auxerre on 1 July 2026.[7]
