Club career
Ren Hang started his football career with Changsha Ginde in the 2007 season when he made his debut for the club on 4 October 2007 in a 2-0 loss against Shanghai Shenhua.[1] By the following season, he had established himself as a vital member of the team by playing in 24 games as Changsha finished midtable at the end of the 2008 season.[2] He continued to be a regular within the team's defense until the 2010 season when the club had a poor run of form that saw Ren dropped from the team as the club was relegated from the first tier.[3]
Before the start of the 2011 season, Ren was allowed to leave the club and he transferred to top tier side Jiangsu Suning.[4] He made his debut for the club on 3 April 2011 in a 2-0 loss against Beijing Guoan.[5] Ren became a vital member of the team as results gradually improved and the club finished in their best ever league place at the end of the 2011 season.[6]
Ren was degraded to Jiangsu's reserve team in June 2016 due to a contract dispute with the club.[7] On 16 September 2016, he terminated his contract with Jiangsu and joined fellow Chinese Super League side Hebei China Fortune; however, he was unable to play for the club until the 2017 season.[8][9] He made his debut for the club on 5 March 2017 in a 0-0 draw against Henan Jianye.
International career
Ren made his debut for the Chinese national team on 18 June 2014 in a 2-0 win against Macedonia.[10] He scored his first international goal on 7 June 2017 in an 8-1 win against the Philippines.
