Xie Yuxin was a diminutive but highly skilled promising young player who was scouted and then transferred to
Dutch football club
FC Zwolle and would become the first Chinese player to play in professional football abroad. Unable to help them stay in the
Eredivisie he would return to China with Team Guangdong. With the advent of professionalism within China he would go on to join top tier side
Guangdong Winnerway and quickly establish himself as a regular within team. For the next several seasons he would become a vital member within the team's midfield as their creative midfielder until the 1996 league season saw him leave to join newly promoted side
Guangzhou Matsunichi. Despite the better pay at his new club he would only stay for one season because of the problems he had with the manager, before returning to Guangdong. His return at Guangdong did not turn out as successful as he had hoped, despite regaining his place back into the team the club had a terrible season that saw them relegated. Considering retiring Xie Yuxin was offered the chance to join
Shenyang Sealion and a chance to continue to play in the top tier. Taking this opportunity he became a regular within the team as well as their captain until he decided to leave at the end of the 2001 league season, where he effectively retired. Despite this he took on numerous player coaching roles and officially retired in 2005 with
Hunan Shoking. ==International career==
