Xie Weijun (Chinese: 谢维军; pinyin: Xiè Wéijūn; born 14 November 1997) is a Chinese professional footballer who plays as a striker for Chinese Super League club Tianjin Jinmen Tiger and the China national team. He is the son of Chinese former international Xie Yuxin.[1]
Xie Weijun joined Chinese Super League side Tianjin TEDA (later renamed Tianjin Jinmen Tiger) from Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao on 28 February 2018.[2] However, he failed to register for the senior league match due to the contract dispute between Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao and Zhuhai Suoka.[3] He was promoted to Tianjin TEDA's first team squad in June 2018 after the settlement of dispute.[4] On 18 July 2018, he made his senior debut in a 1–0 away defeat to Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, coming on as a substitute for Cao Yang in the 84th minute.[5] He scored his first senior goal on 5 August 2018, the winner in a 2–1 away win over Hebei China Fortune, one minute after coming on as a substitute.[6]
