Club career

In 2013, Lau joined then Hong Kong First Division club Citizen but was released after one season when the club decided against applying for a club license in the newly formed, fully professional Hong Kong Premier League.

After a year away from football, he joined Central & Western after being recruited by their manager Fung Chung Ting.[1] He led the club in assists during his season at Central & Western.

In August 2016, Lau went on trial with newly formed HKPL club R&F. After a week of training, he was signed to a contract.[2]

In July 2017, Dreams announced that they had signed Lau ahead of the 2017-18 season.[3] He made his debut for his club in a 2017-18 Senior Shield match against Rangers.[4]

On 24 July 2018, Lau was announced as a player for newly promoted side Hoi King.[5]

On 10 August 2019, it was announced that Lau would join another Hong Kong Premier League club Yuen Long.

International career

In 2009, Lau was selected to the Hong Kong U-16 squad which participated in the 2010 AFC U-16 Championship qualification tournament in China from 19 September to 2 October 2009.[6] On March 28, 2013, he was called up to the Hong Kong U-20 squad and will participate in the 2013 National Games of China football preliminaries from April 2 to April 11, 2013 in Shanghai.
