Club career
Zhou Yun played for Jiangsu Sainty's academy until he was promoted to the senior team during the 2008 season. At the time, the club was competing in the second-tier League One and had already won the division title and promotion to the top tier. Jiangsu's manager Pei Encai decided to give Zhou his debut in the final game of the season against Yantai Yiteng on 15 November 2008 in a 2–0 victory. Zhou spent the following season on the bench as Pei Encai decided to stick with experienced players to keep Jiangsu in the Super League. In the 2010 season Zhou was given his chance to become a regular within the team. He played sixteen league games at the end of the season and helped guide the club to a mid-table finish. Zhou went on to become a vital member of the team's defence in 2011 as the club finished in their highest ever position of fourth.
