Cui started his professional football career in 2013 when he was promoted to Chinese Super League side Dalian Aerbin (now known as Dalian Professional).[1] On 30 April 2014, Cui made his debut for Dalian Aerbin in the 2014 Chinese Super League against Guizhou Renhe, coming on as a substitute for Zhu Xiaogang in the 59th minute.[2] That would be his only league appearance for the club in a disappointing season that saw the club relegated to the second tier.[3] The following season Cui would be given the chance to establish himself as a regular within the team. The club would also change their name to Dalian Yifang F.C. in December 2015.[4] By the end of the 2017 league season he would be a vital member of the squad that won the division championship and promotion back into the top tier.[5]
