Club career

Sham Shui Po

Chan Cheuk Kwong 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 first team.

Five-One-Seven

He 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

He 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.

He became a key member for 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 2011–12 season.

As he is a fireman off the football pitch, he could not attend every training session.[2] 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.[3]
