Club career
Gui Hong moved to Spain for trial in 2012 after he refused to sign a professional contract with Wuhan Zall. He was signed by Huracán Valencia in 2013 when he was 18 years old and transferred to Sevilla's youth academy in January 2014. He was promoted to Sevilla C in the summer of 2014 for the 2014–15 Tercera División campaign. In January 2015, Gui was loaned to Primera Andaluza side Utrera for half season. He scored his first goal in his first appearance, in a 3–0 victory against CD Ciudad Jardín Comunicaciones. Gui scored two goals in 16 appearances, as Utrera finished the second place of the league and won promotion to the Tercera División.
Gui returned to China and joined China League One side Hebei China Fortune in July 2015. He was promoted to the first team by Li Tie after Hebei promoted to the Chinese Super League in 2016. On 10 May 2016, he made his debut for Hebei in a 1–0 victory against amateur team Shanghai Jiading City Development in the 2016 Chinese FA Cup, coming on for Wang Yang in the 60th minute. His Super League debut came on 4 days later in a 2–0 away defeat against Guangzhou Evergrande, coming on as a substitute for Li Hang in the 80th minute. On 29 June 2016, he scored his first goal for Hebei in the fourth round of 2016 Chinese FA Cup, which ensured Hebei beat Heibei Derby rival Shijiazhuang Ever Bright 3–2 and advanced to the next round.
