Liu moved to Lithuania and signed a contract with FK Sūduva in 2010,[2] which made him the first Chinese footballer playing in Lithuania. He scored his first goal for the club in the second leg of Lithuanian Cup Semifinals against FK Vėtra on 14 April. He scored his first league goal three days later, in a 5-0 away win against FK Atletas Kaunas.[3]
