Club career

Chengdu Blades

Guangzhou Evergrande

Peng transferred to Guangzhou Evergrande on 26 December 2011 along with Zhao Xuri, Li Jianbin, and Rong Hao.^[5] He would make his debut for the club on 18 July 2012 in a Chinese FA Cup game against Henan Jianye F.C. in a 2-1 victory.^[6] Within the league, Peng would not make his debut until the last game of the season against Beijing Guoan on 3 November 2012 in a 1-0 defeat, despite the defeat Guangzhou Evergrande had already won the 2012 Chinese Super League.^[7] The following season Peng would continue to struggle to establish himself within the team, however he would scored his first and second goal for the club in the 2013 Chinese FA Cup in which Guangzhou beat China League Two side Dali Ruilong 7-1 on 10 July 2013 a day before he was loaned back to Chengdu.

Chongqing Lifan

On 11 February 2015, Peng was loaned to fellow Chinese Super League side Chongqing Lifan until 31 December 2015.^[8] He would make his debut for the club on 8 March 2015 in a league game against Beijing Guoan F.C. that ended in a 3-0 defeat.^[9] On 19 February 2016, Chongqing extended his loan deal for another season.^[10] This was followed by his first goal for the club in a league game against Hangzhou Greentown in a 1-1 draw.^[11] He made a permanent transfer to Chongqing Lifan in February 2017.^[12]

Shanghai Shenhua

On 24 July 2019, Peng joined fellow Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua.^[13] On 27 July 2019, Peng made his debut for Shenhua in a 5-3 home win against Guangzhou R&F.^[14] On 6 December 2019, Peng won the 2019 Chinese FA Cup with Shenhua in his debut season, after a 3-0 home win and aggregated score of 3-1 against Shandong Luneng.^[15]
