Shi Letian (Chinese: 史乐天; born 12 January 2003), is a Chinese footballer who plays as a forward for Hainan Star.
Club career
[edit]Born in Changji, Xinjiang, Shi started playing football at school, before his parents sent him to Shandong for football training.[1] He played for Shandong Luneng between the ages of 7 and 15,[2] before moving to Spain in 2018 to study at the Marcet Football University's program in Catalonia.[1][3]
While in Spain, he joined youth academy Neurofutbol, where he scored 20 goals in 24 games at under-16 level.[1] He was promoted to the under-19 team, before a move to professional side Langreo in August 2021.[1] Initially assigned to the under-19 squad, where he made his debut in September 2021,[4] he went on to represent the club's 'B' team in the Tercera División RFEF.[5]
In 2022, he returned to China, signing for Chinese Champions League side Jingchuan Wenhui. He played in Jiangchuan Wenhui's shock penalty shoot-out win over Chinese Super League side Beijing Gouan on 17 November 2022.[6]
Personal life
[edit]Shi's father, Shi Yuxin, was also a footballer, but suffered a serious leg injury in a car crash in 1992, forcing him to retire prematurely.[2]
On a brief return to China in 2020, Shi felt ill at the Beijing Capital International Airport, informing staff, and was diagnosed with Coronavirus.[3][7] He spent a month recovering in the Beijing Ditan Hospital, before donating to the "Coronavirus Prevention and Control" through the Red Cross Society of China.[8]
