Chan Cheuk Kwong (Chinese: 陳卓光; Jyutping: can4 coek3 gwong1 ; born 5 December 1984 in Hong Kong), is a Hong Kong semi-professional footballer who plays for Hong Kong First Division League club Southern District RSA as a defensive midfielder, and a center-back on some occasions. He is also a fireman.
He is renowned for his long throw-in ability, often being compared with Stoke City midfielder Rory Delap.[2]
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 was 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 First Division for the first time in club history in 2011–12 season.
As he is a fireman outside the football pitch, he could not attend every training session. As a result, his role in the club has changed into a super-sub. He is often substituted in the second half for long throw-in.
