Club career

Cui Lin moved aboard in 2013 and joined Campeonato de Portugal side Loures.[2] He was promoted to the first team in the summer of 2016. He made his senior debut on 28 August 2016, playing the whole match in a 2–1 away win against Real S.C.[3] On 19 February 2017, he scored his first senior goal in a 5–1 away win over Fabril Barreiro.[4]

On 28 February 2018, Cui transferred to Chinese Super League side Hebei China Fortune (later renamed as Hebei).[2] On 24 April 2018, he made his debut for the club in a 4–0 away win over Suzhou Dongwu in the 2018 Chinese FA Cup, coming on as a substitute for Zhao Mingjian at the half time.[5] He made his Super League debut four days later on 28 April 2018 in a 3–0 away win over Tianjin Quanjian, coming on for Xu Tianyuan at the 85th minute.[6] After the game he would gradually go on to establish himself as a regular within the team. Unfortunately at the end of the 2022 Chinese Super League campaign he was part of the team that was relegated at the end of the campaign.[7] On 7 April 2023, Hebei announced that operations were going to cease immediately due to financial difficulties.[8]

On 11 April 2023, Cui joined top tier club Shanghai Shenhua for the start of the 2023 Chinese Super League campaign.[9] He would make his debut for the club in a league game on 16 April 2023 against Shandong Taishan in a 1-0 victory.[10]
