Chan Cheuk Kwong


Chan Cheuk Kwong is a former Hong Kong professional footballer who currently plays for Hong Kong First Division League club Wong Tai Sin.
He is renowned for his long throw-in ability, often being compared with former Stoke City midfielder Rory Delap.

Club career

Sham Shui Po

Chan started his football career in Sham Shui Po, competing in the third-tier league. In 3 seasons, he only featured 9 matches for the club and was released after the 2007–08 season as the club promoted their full youth team to the first team.

Five-One-Seven

Chan then followed former Sham Shui Po head coach Fung Hoi Man and joined another Third Division club Five-One-Seven. However, since his full-time job was a fireman, he only played 2 matches for the team and left the team after a season.

Southern

Chan once again followed Fung Hoi Man and joined fellow Third Division club Southern. He helped the club gain promotion to second-tier league by scoring two goals in nine matches. His long throw-ins were also a key to success.
Chan became a key member of Southern after the club was promoted. He was a regular starting XI and eventually helped the club promote to the Hong Kong First Division for the first time in club history in the 2011–12 season.
As Chan is a fireman off the football pitch, he could not attend every training session. As a result, his role in the club was changed to super sub. He is often substituted in the second half for long throw-ins.

Hoi King

Having joined Hoi King for the 2017–18 First Division season, head coach Fung Hoi Man confirmed on 7 June 2018 that Chan would be retained by the club for their 2018–19 Hong Kong Premier League campaign.
