Former SLNA striker joins Second Division team

Truong Van Thanh is a player who grew up in the SLNA training center and has played impressively in national youth tournaments such as U17, U19 and U21. At the same age as goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh, but the career path of the striker born in 1991 has been quite bumpy.

After 2 seasons without leaving much impression in the SLNA first team (2014 - 2015), Truong Van Thanh drifted to teams such as Phu Yen (2016), XSKT Can Tho (2017). Last season, the player from Tan Ky played for Hue Football Club.

At the end of 2019, Truong Van Thanh joined the Hai Phong Club to practice. Although he demonstrated his ability, the former SLNA player could not "find a common voice" with the leadership of the Port City team.

After leaving Lach Tray Stadium, Truong Van Thanh returned to his hometown to practice with his old team SLNA. Due to not having the opportunity to be signed by the Vinh Stadium team, the 29-year-old player decided to go to Phu Dong Club for a trial. After only a few practice sessions, Truong Van Thanh was given a contract by head coach Nguyen Trung Kien until the end of the 2021 season.

At Phu Dong Club, Truong Van Thanh will be playing alongside his teammate from Nghe An, goalkeeper Le Quang Dai. It is known that Phu Dong Club's goal in the 2020 National Second Division is to win promotion./.
