Career

Sunderland

In June 2011, Ji agreed a deal to join Sunderland of the English Premier League as a summer transfer after impressing manager Steve Bruce with his performance in the 2011 Asian Cup, in which he scored four goals and provided two assists in six games.[2] He signed a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee (believed to be around £2 million).[3] He made his first appearance for his new club in a 1–1 draw with Arminia Bielefeld in the club's pre-season tour of Germany.[4] He scored his first goal for Sunderland in a pre-season friendly against Darlington.[5] Ji made his league debut for Sunderland on 13 August 2011 coming on for Asamoah Gyan in the 66th minute against Liverpool.[6] Ji scored his first Premier League goal in the 90th minute against Chelsea from a Nicklas Bendtner assist on 10 September 2011, to which Sunderland lost 2–1.[7]

Augsburg

On 1 January 2013, Ji signed for German club FC Augsburg on loan for the rest of the season,[8] where his national teammate midfielder Koo Ja-Cheol was also on loan. On 24 February 2013, he scored his debut goal for Augsburg in a game against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.[9] On 14 April, Ji scored two goals against Eintracht Frankfurt, single-handedly clinching a 2–0 victory for his side.[10]

On 18 May 2013, Ji scored his fifth goal of the season which led to a 3–1 victory over SpVgg Greuther Fürth, helping FC Augsburg avoid relegation.[11]

On 17 January 2014, Sunderland announced that Ji has signed a contract with FC Augsburg on a permanent switch for an undisclosed fee until the end of the 2013–14 Bundesliga season and will sign for Borussia Dortmund on 1 July 2014.[12][13][14]

On 25 January 2014, Ji started his second spell with Augsburg in style against his future employer Borussia Dortmund; after being substituted into the game with 20 minutes left to play, Ji scored a header to draw the game 2–2.[15]

Borussia Dortmund

On 17 January 2014, Borussia Dortmund officially announced that the club has committed to Ji such that, after his six-month contract with Augsburg for the remainder of the 2013–14 Bundesliga season, Ji will sign a four-year contract with Borussia Dortmund, effective 1 July 2014.[16]

Return to Augsburg

On 22 December 2014, after failing to appear competitively for Borussia Dortmund, Ji signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with FC Augsburg, until 30 June 2018.[17]
