You Yuanwen (Chinese: 由元文 born 23 April 1986) is a Chinese football player who currently plays as midfielder or striker for Sichuan Longfor in the China League Two.
Club career
You Yuanwen would start his career playing for top tier side Henan Jianye during the 2007 league season and would eventually be given his chance to make his senior league debut for the club when the manager Jia Xiuquan let him come on as a late substitute for Xiao Zhi on March 30, 2008 against Beijing Guoan in a 2-0 defeat. After making several further substitute appearances he would be unable to make an impact on the pitch and soon be dropped from the team, however he would still remain with the club for several further seasons and see a succession of managers come through the club before Jo Bonfrere decided to release him at the end of the 2010 league season.
Half way through the 2011 league season top tier side Shanghai Shenhua would decide to bring You Yuanwen in on a free transfer after the club needed a striker after losing Duvier Riascos and Dong Xuesheng to other teams as well as Luis Salmerón to injury. You Yuanwen would soon make his debut for the club on August 6, 2011 against Henan Jianye in a 2-1 defeat where he came on as substitute for Feng Renliang.
