He joined Chinese Super League’s newcomer Shanghai Dongya in 2013. On 21 May 2013, he made his debut for Shanghai Dongya in the third round of 2013 Chinese FA Cup which Shanghai beat Chongqing Lifan in the penalty shootout.[1] On 25 June 2013, Wu made his Super League debut in a 1–0 away defeat against Guangzhou Evergrande, coming on as a substitute for Lü Wenjun in the 65th minute.[2] In January 2014, Wu signed for Shanghai Dongya’s city rival Shanghai Shenxin.[3] At Shanghai Shenxin he would make his debut in a league game against Shanghai Greenland Shenhua on 9 March 2014 in a 2-0 defeat.[4] This was eventually followed by his first goal for the club on 16 May 2015 in a league game against Guangzhou R&F F.C. in a 3-1 victory.[5] The club would be relegated at the end of the 2015 Chinese Super League and Wu remained with the team as they played in the second tier.[6]
