Club Career
Zeng Cheng started his professional football career at top tier club Wuhan Guanggu, however he was soon loaned out to Indonesian football team Persebaya Surabaya for more playing time at the beginning of the 2005 season. On his return to Wuhan, he would be allowed to make his league debut at the end of the league season on 5 November 2005 in a 1-1 draw against Shanghai Shenhua. For several seasons, Zeng Cheng would play understudy to Deng Xiaofei until Wuhan quit the league and were subsequently relegated in the 2008 season after the club's management did not accept the punishment given to them by the Chinese Football Association after a scuffle broke out during a league game against Beijing Guoan on 27 September 2008.
At the beginning of the 2009 season, Zeng Cheng transferred to another Chinese Super league team Henan Construction, where he was immediately chosen as first choice goalkeeper ahead of existing goalkeeper Zhou Yajun. The move turned out to be a big success and the club would finish in it highest ever position of third within the league and qualify for the AFC Champions League for the first time in the club's history.
On 1 January 2013, along with Zhao Peng and Yi Teng, Zeng successfully transferred to two-time, back-to-back Chinese Super League champions Guangzhou Evergrande with a free fee.
