Ajax have signed 18-year-old Chinese midfielder Wang Chengkuai on a two-year-contract until Sep 1, 2015, the Dutch football club announced Wednesday.

The Zhejiang born will start playing for the Ajax reserves, who play in the Dutch second division.

In January, Dalian Shide quit the Chinese super league, and the contract of Wang Chengkuai was thus terminated. That's why he could join Ajax without any obstacle as a free agent.

Together with Wei Shihao he was already on trial in January this year. Chengkuai will be the first Chinese player at Ajax.
