Club career

edit

Born in Tianjin, Xiao started his career with Beijing Guoan.[2] He had a brief spell with Shandong Luneng Taishan in 2014 and 2015, spending time with their overseas football camp in Brazil.[3] He trained with Brazilian side Ituano, before the expiration of his contract with Beijing Guoan in 2018, at which time he joined Ituano permanently.[2][3]

The following year, he trained with Santos, who were unable to offer him an official contract at the time, due to the nature of his visa.[2] On 24 August 2021, having overcome an ankle injury, he signed a three-year contract with Santos.[4][5]

Despite Xiao's release clause being a reported €100 million, he was released by Santos just a year into his contract.[3] Shortly after his departure from Santos, he joined Fortaleza.[6]

After failing to make an appearance at any level for Fortaleza, he joined Série B side Mirassol ahead of the 2023 season.[7][8]
