Jiang Guangtai (Chinese: 蒋光太; pinyin: Jiǎng Guāngtài; born Tyias Charles Browning; 27 May 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as a defender for Chinese Super League club Shanghai Port. Born in Liverpool, England, to a mother of Cantonese Chinese descent,[4] he has represented the China national team since 2021.

In addition to playing as a centre-back, Browning can also play as a right-back.[5][6]

Early life

[edit]

Browning was born in Liverpool, England.[2] He attended the same school as his former Wigan Athletic teammates Lee Nicholls and Jack Phillips.[5]

He is eligible to play for China national team because his maternal grandfather Ying-Wing Chiang (1939–1992), a chef in Macclesfield, England, was Cantonese, having emigrated from Meige Village, Xinhui County, China.[4] Chiang married a Black British woman.[4] In 2019, Browning became a naturalised Chinese citizen, benefiting from the Chinese football naturalisation policies.[7]

Club career

[edit]

Everton

[edit]
Browning playing for Everton in a pre-season friendly in July 2011.

Browning joined Everton in 2004 at the age of ten.[8][9] Prior to that, he started at the local team for eight months before joining Everton.[9] After progressing through the youth team for Everton, Browning began to play in the club's reserve, where he became a regular.[5] He then helped Everton Reserves win the U18 Premier League title in the 2010–11 season.[10][11][6]

Browning developed at the club's reserves, playing in the right–back position for the side throughout his time there.[12] Browning also received a captain armband for the club's reserves, as he develops.[13] At the end of the 2013–14 season, Browning won the Under-21s Player of the Season at the club's end of season awards night.[14][6]

On 30 December 2012, he was called up to the first team for the first time as an unused substitute as Everton lost 2–1 to Chelsea.[15] On 26 July 2013, Browning signed his first professional contract with the club, keeping him until 2015.[16]

In the 2014–15 season, Browning signed a three–year contract, keeping him until 2017.[17] He made his debut for Everton's senior squad on 27 September 2014 at Anfield for the Merseyside Derby against Liverpool, coming on as a substitute to replace long-time Everton servant Tony Hibbert after 72 minutes with the scoreline 1–0 to Liverpool, as the game ended 1–1.[18] Browning made another appearance in a follow–up match against Manchester United on 5 October 2014, coming on as a substitute to replace Hibbert again, in a 2–1 loss.[19] Two months later, on 11 December 2014, he made his first start for the side, starting the whole game, in a 1–0 loss against Krasnodar.[20] At the end of the 2014–15 season, Browning made three appearances in all competitions.

In the 2014–15 season, Browning made his first appearance of the season, coming on as a late substitute to replace Brendan Galloway, in a 3–0 win over Southampton on 15 August 2015.[21] He then received a handful of first team appearances for the side this season.[22] In one of the match against Swansea City on 19 September 2015, Browning was named Team of the Week after helping the side draw 0–0, keeping a clean sheet in the process.[23] However, he suffered a knee injury during the club's win over Blackburn Rovers in the Lancashire Senior Cup, and was sidelined for the rest of the 2015–16 season.[24]

After being sidelined for a long time, Browning returned to full fitness, playing 45 minutes, as Everton U23 lost 4-1 by Norwich City in the Premier League Cup in November 2016.[25] He was then featured in the EFL Trophy against Blackpool, in a 5–4 defeat in the penalty shoot-out after the game was finished with a 1–1 draw on 8 November 2016.[26] Despite returning to fitness, he was told by the club's management that he was to be loaned out for the rest of the 2016–17 season.[27] After his loan spell at Sunderland ended, Browning was expected to be loaned out again, but the move failed to materialise.[28] It was announced in January 2019 that Browning was expected to leave Everton, with his departure being imminent.[29]

Wigan Athletic (loan)

[edit]

Browning joined Uwe Rösler's Wigan Athletic on a one-month loan on 10 January 2014.[30] He made his professional debut a day later versus AFC Bournemouth in a 3–0 victory, replacing James Perch as a substitute.[31] In a follow–up match, Browning then started the whole game as a right–back, as Wigan Athletic lost 3–0 against Doncaster Rovers, in what turned out to be his last appearance for the club.[32] Afterwards, he returned to his parent club, Everton.[33]

Preston North End (loan)

[edit]

Browning signed a new two-and-a-half-year deal at Everton and was then immediately sent on loan to Preston North End until the end of the 2016–17 season on 30 January 2017.[34] The following day, he made his Preston North End debut, starting the whole game, in a 2–0 loss against Cardiff City.[35] Browning became a first team regular for the side, playing in the right–back position in a number of matches.[36] This lasted until he suffered a knee injury that kept him out for two months.[37] He made his return to the starting lineup on 24 April 2017 against Newcastle United, where they lost 4–1.[38] At the end of the 2016–17 season, having made eight appearances for Preston North End, Browning returned to his parent club.[39]

Sunderland (loan)

[edit]

On 8 July 2017, Browning joined relegated side Sunderland on a season long-deal, where he was reunited with Manager Simon Grayson, who played under him while at Preston North End.[40] He made his Sunderland debut in the opening game of the season, where he started the whole game, in a 1–1 draw against Derby County.[41] Since making his Sunderland debut, Jing established himself in the starting eleven for the side, playing in the centre–back position.[42] However, Sunderland soon found themselves struggling in the league that saw them at the bottom of the table.[43] After being sidelined with an injury that kept him out throughout October, he returned to the first team as a late substitute against Millwall on 18 November 2017.[44] Browning continued to feature in the first team under the new management of Chris Coleman.[45] Under Coleman, Browning's performance improved, where he kept four clean sheets for the side.[46] Browning continued to feature in the first team until he suffered a groin injury during a 3–0 loss against Aston Villa on 6 March 2018 and was sidelined for the rest of the season.[47] Without him, Sunderland struggled in the league for the rest of the season, leading to their relegation to League One.[48] At the end of the 2017–18 season, Browning went on to make twenty–nine appearances in all competitions.

Guangzhou Evergrande

[edit]

On 20 February 2019, Browning transferred to Chinese Super League club Guangzhou Evergrande for an undisclosed fee, which was believed to be in the region of €4.6m.[49][8] On 5 March 2019, he made his debut for the club in a 2–0 home win over Japanese side Sanfrecce Hiroshima in the 2019 AFC Champions League.[50] Due to the fact that Chinese Super League's policies on naturalized players were still vague and incomplete at the time, Browning could only be registered as a foreign player for the first half of the 2019 season and his league registration had to be cancelled in the 2019 summer transfer window after the club re-signed fellow naturalized player Ai Kesen, therefore he could only train with the reserve team for the second half of the season. Manager Fabio Cannavaro admitted in a press conference that the situation with Browning confused him too as he stated that the club only signed him because they expected him to be used as a Chinese player. The team went on to win the 2019 Chinese Super League and Browning was still eligible to receive a medal as he made 4 league appearances in the first half of the season. After the policy became more complete in the following year and the formalities were completed, Browning returned to the team as a Chinese player for the 2020 season.

Shanghai Port

[edit]

On 24 August 2022, Browning joined fellow Chinese Super League club Shanghai Port.[51] On 20 September 2022, Browning made his Shanghai Port debut and scored his first career goal in a 2–1 away win at Henan Songshan Longmen. On 29 October 2023, Browning won his second league title and first one with Shanghai Port after a 1–1 home draw against direct competitor Shandong Taishan.[52]

International career

[edit]

Youth

[edit]

Browning has represented England at under-17, under-19, and under-21 level.[53] In addition to playing for England, he is eligible to play for China.[54]

In 2010, Browning was featured four times, for England U17s, including being called up for the Nordic Tournament.[55][11]

In March 2013, Browning was called up by England U19s for the first time, making his debut for the side in a 1–0 win over Turkey U19s.[56] He went on to make four appearances for the U19 side.

In May 2014, Browning was called up to the under-21 squad for the first time.[57] On 22 May 2014 Browning made his England U21 debut, playing the whole game in a 3–0 win over Qatar U21.[58]

Senior

[edit]

Browning received his first call-up to the Chinese national team in 2020, but had to wait until their 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Guam on 30 May 2021 to make his international debut.[59] On 20 June 2023, Jiang scored his first international goal in a 2–0 home win against Palestine in an international friendly game.[60]

Browning was named in China's squad for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup in Qatar and started the team's opening match against Tajikistan on 13 January 2024.[61] While China performed poorly in the tournament, Browning's display earned him praise for his decisiveness and strength.
