Instant-Dict

Wong played at hard grounds at lunchtime when he was a teenager. He enjoys having the ball at this feet. At 16, he accompanied a school friend to a trial at Instant-Dict FC's youth team. His father then received a call from the club wanting to recruit him.^[1]

But Philip Lee of Rangers asked him to come back to football. He was selected to play in the indoor 5-a-side Hong Kong team and regained his love for football.^[2]

South China

In the 2010 AFC Cup, Wong came on as a substitute and scored the winner against Muangthong United in the final minute in an ill-tempered match which saw both sides reduced to 10 men. The win meant South China and Muangthong both have 10 points from five games. But the Hong Kong side have a better head-to-head record following their 0–0 draw in Hong Kong.^[4]

Rangers

On 11 January 2013, Wong made a return to his former club Rangers from South China as a free transfer. On the same day, Rangers' defender Chak Ting Fung was transferred to South China. The two deals were regarded as a player exchange.^[5]

Wong was also appointed as the team captain right after he joined Rangers.^[6]

Eastern

Wong refused to extend the contract with Rangers and made a transfer list request after the end of the 2012–13 season. On 1 June 2013, Wong joined newly promoted First Division club Eastern Salon for free.^[7]

Wong retired prior to the 2017–18 season to become an assistant coach at Eastern.^[8]
