He would make his debut in a league game on 12 May 2019 against Guangzhou R&F F.C. where the Head coach Shen Xiangfu brought him on to replace outfield player Wu Wei and played him as an attacker for the final few minutes of the game that ended in a 2-1 defeat.[1] The following season Ma Zhen would join another top tier club in Shanghai Shenhua for the start of the 2020 Chinese Super League campaign.[2] He would make his debut as a goalkeeper for the club on 27 October 2020 in a league game against Chongqing Dangdai Lifan F.C. that ended in a 3–1 victory.[3]
