Youth career

During his high school years at YMCA of Hong Kong Christian College[1][2][3][4][5][6], Wu joined the Wanchai academy after taking an interest in football due to his father, who was a football fan. He later joined the Pegasus academy where he helped his side to win the 2014-15 Hong Kong FA Youth Cup.

On 12 March 2016, Wu scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory for the City University of Hong Kong in The University Sports Federation of Hong Kong's football championship game.[7]

On 7 July 2015, Wu signed his first professional contract with Pegasus.[8]

On 3 February 2016, Wu made his first team debut in a 2015–16 Hong Kong FA Cup match against his former youth club Wan Chai. He made his league debut later that year on 7 May, coming on as a substitute against Rangers.[9]

On 12 June 2019, Wu announced that he would be leaving Pegasus after six years in order to challenge himself at a new club.[10]

On 30 June 2019, it was reported that Wu had signed with Eastern.[11]

Despite having yet reached the age of 16, Wu was selected for the Hong Kong U-18 squad that competed in the 2014 AFC U-19 Championship qualification tournament. He made two appearances for the team during the tournament.

Wu was selected again for the 2016 AFC U-19 Championship qualification tournament where he appeared in all four games.
