First Published: Nov 28, 2000

China's captain is to play in England with first division side Grimsby Town.

Defender Zhang Enhua was voted China's Player of the Year for 2000 and the 27 year old centre back has played 90 times for the national teams and scored 10 times.

Initially the Dalian Shide captain is to stay with Grimsby for four months but his move could become permanent.

He could face Fan Zhiyi who signed for Crystal Palace from Dalian last year and plays in the first division with the London club.
