En Hua joined Grimsby Town on loan from Chinese League champions Dalian Shide in December and proved to be a great success in his stay at Blundell Park. A class act in the centre of defence he is good in the air, has fine positional sense and reads the game well. He established a solid partnership with Paul Groves at the back for the Mariners and also found time to net the winner against Burnley when he headed home a corner. An experienced international, he returned to China at the beginning of April and joined up with his country's squad for the World Cup qualifiers.
