He is a three-time Four Continents bronze medalist (2013, 2015, 2016), 2013 Cup of China champion, 2012 World Junior champion, 2012 Youth Olympics champion, and a two-time (2009, 2010) Chinese national champion.
The only athlete in his family, Yan started skating at the age of 5. He trained in Harbin until he relocated to Beijing in early 2012.
Yan made his ISU Junior Grand Prix debut in the 2009–10 season. He won gold at the event in Turkey, his only assignment that season. He did not compete at the 2010 World Junior Championships due to a fracture injury.
