Club career

Early career

[edit]

Wong studied at Yu Chun Keung Memorial College and graduated after Form 5. He represented various youth levels of the national team.

Sham Shui Po

[edit]

Wong joined Third Division club Sham Shui Po when he was young. In 2008, youth team members were all promoted to the club's first team in order to gain experience. In the first season, the club reached the final of Junior Shield, which they eventually lost 0–2 to Shatin. Wong Wai played 5 out of 6 games and scored a goal in the semi-finals.

In Wong's second season, he scored 12 goals throughout the season, including 3 goals in the promotion play-offs, which helped the club gain promotion to the Second Division.

Wong helped the club gain promotion to the First Division for the first time in club history by scoring 12 goals in 19 games in the 2010–11 season. In the 2011–12 season, he failed to help the team prevent relegation to the Second Division, although he featured in most of the matches.

[edit]

Wong linked up with former Sham Shui Po player and manager Lee Chi Kin and joined Yokohama FC Hong Kong in July 2012.[3]

Tai Po

After the conclusion of his contract, Wong once again followed Lee Chi Kin, this time to the newly promoted HKPL club Tai Po. He was revealed as a Tai Po player during the club's season kick-off event on 19 July 2016.[4]

On 17 July 2019, it was revealed that Wong had left Tai Po at the end of his contract.[5]
