Style of play

At the start of his career, Yong plays as a midfielder and occasionally as a Striker at Kuala Lumpur, FELDA United and Perak. When he transferred to Penang, he was converted as centre-back by Coach K. Devan, due to his height, aggressiveness, speed and mainly lack of choice of centre back players in the squad at the time due to injuries. He adapted the position so well that he becomes the first choice centre-back for Penang.[6]

2015, under coaching of Jacksen F. Tiago, Yong was converted to Right-Back. Due to his exceptional stamina, Yong is able to provide crosses upfield and defend effectively against an opponent's attack down the flanks. Which make him the most appearances player for Penang FA in 2015.
