Former SLNA striker says goodbye to First Division team
(Baonghean.vn) - Although he still has 1 year left on his contract, Truong Van Thanh was not retained by Phu Dong Club to play in the 2021 season.
Truong Van Thanh is a product of the training center.SLNA, the same generation as Tran Nguyen Manh (Viettel), Pham The Nhat (SLNA), Tran Dinh Hoang (SHB Da Nang) and Nguyen Dinh Bao (Quang Nam). However, the Tan Ky player only played for the Nghe An team for 2 seasons (2014 - 2015) and often had to "wear out his pants on the bench".

After leaving SLNA, Truong Van Thanh played for Phu Yen, XSKT Can Tho, and Hue Football Club. Last season, the striker born in 1991 was on the payroll of Phu Dong Club. The promotion of coach Nguyen Trung Kien and his team (from Second Division to First Division) was largely due to the central midfielder wearing the number 23 shirt - Truong Van Thanh.
Surprisingly, before the 2021 season, the Tan Ky player had his contract terminated by Phu Dong Club. Sharing with Nghe An Newspaper, Truong Van Thanh said: "Currently, I am in my hometown and feel very disappointed with the decision of Phu Dong Club's Board of Directors. After all, last season, I was one of the pillars who contributed the most to the team."
