Dalian Shide F.C.
At the beginning of the 2005 Chinese Super League season Zhang Chong would break into the senior team of Dalian Shide F.C. after graduating from their youth team. He would, however have to wait until the 2009 Chinese Super League season before he made his senior debut appearance for Dalian against Qingdao Jonoon on October 31, 2009 in the last game of the season in a 3-1 defeat. For the next two seasons he would then become the second choice goalkeeper behind Sun Shoubo as Dalian finished as mid-table regulars until the 2012 Chinese Super League saw Dalian have difficult start to the season and the manager Nelo Vingada decided to promote Zhang as the club's first choice goalkeeper in a league game on March 24, 2012 in a 2-1 victory against Qingdao Jonoon.
