Deng Zhuoxiang ({{zh|s=邓卓翔|t=鄧卓翔|p=Dèng Zhuóxiáng}}, born 24 October 1988) is a Chinese former footballer who played as a midfielder. He is caretaker head coach of Wuhan Three Towns.

Club career

Deng Zhuoxiang started his football career in the 2005 league season playing for Wuhan Optics Valley; however, he would have to wait until the 2006 league season to make his debut against Tianjin Teda on 12 July 2006 in a 4–3 loss.{{Cite web|url=http://csldata.sports.sohu.com/gameinfo.php?season=2006&gameid=A17113|title=3–4 – 比赛结果-中超数据库-搜狐|publisher=csldata.sports.sohu.com|date=12 July 2006|access-date=21 July 2012 | language = zh}} Throughout the season, he would steadily establish himself within the squad by playing in 10 league games, though this was often as a substitute.{{Cite web|url=http://csldata.sports.sohu.com/player.php?regnum=MA15353&season=2006 |script-title=zh:球员资料-中超数据库-搜狐|publisher=csldata.sports.sohu.com|year=2006|access-date=21 July 2012 | language = zh}} By the 2007 league season, Deng would establish himself within the team and even score his first goal against Qingdao Jonoon in a 1–0 win on 27 March 2007.{{Cite web|url=http://csldata.sports.sohu.com/gameinfo.php?season=2007&gameid=A12083|title=1–0 – 比赛结果-中超数据库-搜狐|publisher=csldata.sports.sohu.com|date=27 March 2007|access-date=21 July 2012 | language = zh}} While now a regular starter for Wuhan, he found that they were controversially relegated then subsequently disbanded during the 2008 season after the club's management did not accept the punishment given to them by the Chinese Football Association after a scuffle broke out during a match against Beijing Guoan on 27 September 2008.{{Cite web|url=http://english.people.com.cn/90001/90779/90871/6530650.html|title=Wuhan ejected from soccer league|publisher=english.people.com.cn|date=10 November 2008|access-date=21 July 2012}}

Without a club, Deng would be loaned to the newly promoted Jiangsu Sainty by Hubei F.A. at the beginning of the 2009 league season. He would go on to play in 29 league games in the season, scoring five goals and providing six assists. On 4 December 2009, he was named as the Chinese Football Association Young Player of the Year and would then transfer to Shandong Luneng shortly after. He would go on to make his debut on 24 February 2010 against Sanfrecce Hiroshima in an AFC Champions League game that Shandong won 1–0.{{Cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/en/component/joomleague/?view=report&compID=384&matchId=2663|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180308042933/http://www.the-afc.com/en/component/joomleague/?view=report&compID=384&matchId=2663|url-status=dead|archive-date=8 March 2018|title=AFC Champions League 2010 Match Summary: Sanfrecce Hiroshima 0–1 Shandong Luneng|publisher=the-afc.com|date=24 February 2010|access-date=21 July 2012}} In his debut season for Shandong, he would have to fight for his position against Wang Yongpo; however, he quickly established himself as an integral member of the team and aid the club to the 2010 league title by the end of his first season.

Deng transferred back to Jiangsu on 6 February 2012.{{Cite web|url=http://sports.sina.com.cn/j/2012-02-06/17565932674.shtml |script-title=zh:舜天官方微博宣布邓卓翔加盟 时隔两年重返老东家|publisher=sports.sina.com.cn|date=6 February 2012|access-date=21 July 2012 | language = zh}} However, Deng did not play during the 2012 season, missing out after doctors found fractured bone fragments in his knee.
