[Sports News]Standard Rovers, who will compete in the AFC Champions League qualifiers next month, announced today (24th) that they will sign Li Yikai, who had previously terminated his contract with the Chinese Super League club Nantong Zhiyun.
The 28-year-old Li Yikai said through the club’s Facebook that before deciding to sign the contract, he had communicated with the director Li Huili, the captain Lin Jiawei who had worked with Jiezhi, and the vice-captain Lu Junyi: “I am very interested in cooperating with Standard Rangers, especially in the past. I have also been coached by”Jiawei” and “Junyi” in other clubs. I have made a lot of progress and enjoyed working with them.” Knowing that Standard Rangers showed the ability to compete against Jiezhi and Liwen last season, the decision to join is to help the team perform, strive for success, and cherish the opportunities given by the club. The short-term goal will be to help the team win at home in the AFC Champions League qualifiers and advance to the next round.”

Li Yikai was born in the Jiezhi youth team. He played for local clubs such as Hong Kong Jing and Southern District. In 2014, he went north to join Shenyang Zhongze, a Chinese team for the first time, and signed a three-year contract. However, the head coach Li Jinyu was dismissed at the beginning of the season. In the 2015-16 season, he was finally reused by Jiezhi, and he was selected as the best young player together with Chen Junle of Pegasus. In April 2017, he played a masterpiece in the AFC Champions League group match against Tianjin Quanjian. In February 2021, “Akai” won the favor of Nantong Zhiyun and once again competed in the mainland. In the first two seasons, there were stable chances to play. Unfortunately, with the change of coaching staff, after being promoted to the Super League this season, they only played for one minute as a backup in the battle against Shanghai Shenhua on June 28. Since his visit to Malaysia in March, he has not been selected for the Hong Kong team.
