Yang was promoted to the senior team of Guangzhou for the 2021 Chinese Super League season, making his debut on 2 May 2021 against Shenzhen F.C. in a 2-0 victory.[1] He was with the club as it experienced financial instability and suffered relegation following the 2022 Chinese Super League campaign, ending its twelve-season stay in the top flight.[2] Yang, however, remained with the club and went on to establish himself as a regular squad member in the team.[3]
