Club career
[edit]Chen Lei made first competitive debut for Shanghai Shenhua in April 2006, aged 20 in a 1–0 defeat against Shenzhen Kingway.[1] By the end of the season he was able to make four appearances for Shanghai, however at the beginning of the 2007 league there was an influx of players with the merger Shanghai United F.C. and Chen Lei went out on loan to Changchun Yatai for two seasons.[2] At Changchun Yatai he gained considerably more playing time and helped the team to claim their first league title in his first season with them. He would return to Shanghai Shenhua at the beginning of the 2009 Chinese Super League season where he would gradually push for a place within the first team playing as a full back until Sun Xiang returned to the team after his loan move in Europe ended. After only making six league appearances Chen Lei was loaned out once more to this time Shenzhen Asia Travel until the end of the season.[3] At the beginning of the 2010 league season Chen would return to Shanghai once his loan ended and claim his place back into the team due to the departure of Sun Xiang leaving the club. Chen transferred to another China League One club Chongqing Lifan in January 2014.
International career
[edit]Chen Lei would make his debut in a friendly against Iran on 1 June 2009 in a 1–0 win, coming on as a substitute for Rong Hao.[4]
