Yu Keli (Chinese: 喻克力; born 1 June 2005), is a Chinese footballer currently playing as a midfielder for China League Two club Ganzhou Ruishi.
Club career
Yu enrolled in the Evergrande Football School in 2012, and went on to win multiple accolades and competitions with the academy.[2] In October 2021, he moved to Spain to play for Moratalaz, making his debut on 3 October.[2] A month later, he scored his first goal for the under-19s, a long-range effort in a 1–0 away win.[2] He went on to score three more goals for Moratalaz.[3][4]
Despite this good start to his career in Spain, he left Moratalaz in August 2022, returning to China.[5][6][7] Ahead of the 2023 season, Yu was registered with former club Guangzhou in the China League One.[8] After failing to break into the Guangzhou first team, he was loaned to China League Two club Haikou Mingcheng for the 2024 season.[9]
The following year, he left Guangzhou to join fellow China League One club Dingnan United.[9] In March 2025, he was loaned to Ganzhou Ruishi.[10]
