Due to their withdrawal they were unable to register and participate in any professional Chinese tournaments, however the Hubei Province soccer association decided that due to the lack of reprsentation of any Hubei
teams within the Chineses soccer league system they would help create a new team to represent Hubei and use the Wuhan U-19 team as well as the Hubei youth team as the foundation for the squad. This saw the establishment of a new soccer club on the 26 February 2009 when the Hubei Greenery officially registered itself within the Chinese Soccer association and start at the bottom of the professional football system in the third tier. The club would show their unusual strength in depth when they would breeze through the regional section of the league campaign and enter into the play-off finals where they lost thir only game of the season Hunan Billows F.C. in a penalty shoot out. Despite the defeat the club would win promotion to the second tier and to strengthen their team they bought back the contracts of several Wuhan Guanggu players who were not permanently sold off.
