Club career[edit]

Happy Valley[edit]

In the 2008–09 season, Ling Cong scored 15 goals for Happy Valley and was the club's top scorer.[1]

On 5 May 2010, Ling Cong was questioned by the Independent Commission Against Corruption over match fixing. He missed the club's training but team official said he pulled a muscle.[2] On 7 May, Ling Cong said he was questioned for information but he was not arrested and he had nothing to do with the case. It was a mistake for the media to report that he was arrested and he worried about his future in Hong Kong football.[3]

Sun Hei[edit]

Ling Cong joined Sun Hei for the 2010–11 Hong Kong First Division League.[4]

Tuen Mun[edit]

Ling Cong joined Tuen Mun for the 2011–12 Hong Kong First Division League season. On 23 October 2011, Lin Cong scored a hat-trick and helped Tuen Mun beat Sham Shui Po 6:2.[5]

On 30 October 2012, due to the divestment of Tuen Mun president Chan Keung, various key players, including Ling Cong, and the whole coaching team were released by the club.[6]
