In 2005, Zhou Yuchen joined Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng Taishan's football school, where he was converted from a defender into a goalkeeper.[1] He was sent to Portugal for further training by the club in January 2014.[2] He joined Campeonato de Portugal side Sacavenense in the summer of 2014. Zhou returned to Shandong Luneng and was promoted to the first team squad in 2015,[3] acting as the fourth goalkeeper of the team.
Zhou was loaned to Super League newcomer Hebei China Fortune for one season in February 2016.[4] He didn't appear for China Fortune throughout the entirety of his loan spell.
In July 2017, Zhou was loaned to Hong Kong Premier League side R&F.[5] On 24 September 2017, he made his senior debut in a 2–1 loss against Lee Man in the first round of 2017–18 Senior Shield.[6] He made his league debut on 28 October 2017 in a 2–1 away win against Yuen Long.[7] Zhou was loaned to R&F again in September 2018. On 14 October 2020, Zhou left the club after his club's withdrawal from the HKPL in the new season.
