Club career
He joined Hong Kong Third Division club Sham Shui Po when he was young. In 2008, youth team members were all promoted to the club's first team to gain experience.

In the 2011–12 season, he failed to help the team prevent relegation to the Second Division. However, he was notable for scoring a goal from South China in the first lef of quarter-finals in Senior Shield, helping the team gain a 1–1 draw.
He followed former Sham Shui Po players and manager Lee Chi Kin and joined Yokohama FC Hong Kong in July 2012.[2]
Lo joined defending First Division champions South China for an undisclosed fee on 28 June 2013.[3]
On 7 July 2017, Eastern announced via Facebook that they had signed Lo.[4]
On 4 June 2018, it was reported that Lo had signed with fellow HKPL side R&F.[5] This was confirmed by Eastern chairman Peter Leung on 19 July 2018, who also stated that his team could not compete with R&F's offer to double Lo's salary to HKD$100,000 a month.[6]
On 29 May 2020, Lo confirmed that he would be leaving R&F after two years.[7]
