Yang Zhi, who debuted in Guangdong Provincial Sports School, has played for Guangdong Eagle and Shenzhen Kejian, and also guarded the gate for Guangdong team at the 2001 Ninth Games, and also represented Guangdong team in the Provincial Hong Kong Cup, but the turning point of his career was the dissolution of Shenzhen Kejian in 2004 and then switched to Beijing Guoan. Yang Zhi, who played for the top giants, quickly seized the opportunity to become the main goalkeeper of the team with his ability, and became the meritorious captain in the history of the Guoan team, which was deeply loved by beijing fans.

For a total of 15 seasons from 2005 to 2019, Yang Zhidu played for Beijing Guoan and was the main force of iron unless he was plagued by injuries. During his time in Guoan, he also represented the Chinese team in the East Asian Final Four, the Asian Cup, the World Preliminary Tournament and other major competitions. In the 2010 East Asian Cup, the national football team won 3-0 against the South Korean team to end the "South Korea-fearing" historical battle, and Yang Zhi was the main goalkeeper.

Born in Guangzhou, Yang Zhi is the best goalkeeper trained in Guangdong youth training after Ou Chuliang, and is also the Guangdong professional player who has achieved the greatest success in other provinces in the history of Chinese professional leagues. Guangzhou Evergrande and Guangzhou R&F once hoped to introduce Yang Zhi, but they all missed each other.
As a banner in the history of the Beijing Guoan team, Yang Zhi will probably not leave Beijing football after his future transformation.
