Club career
editAfter the departure of Lê Công Vinh to Hà Nội T&T F.C. in 2009, Trọng Hoàng was given Công Vinh's number 9 and since then, he has become an important part of Sông Lam Nghệ An. His performance helped the club finished third in the 2009 V-League and won 2010 Vietnamese Cup title.
In the financial turmoil that affected most V-League clubs after the 2012 season, Sông Lam Nghệ An was unable to arrange a financial contract with Trọng Hoàng. After his contract expired, he joined Becamex Bình Dương as a free agent in 2013. With the Southern Vietnamese side, he won two consecutive V.League 1 titles in 2014 and 2015.[3]
In November 2016, Trọng Hoàng joined FLC Thanh Hóa, signing a three-year contract and earning one the of the biggest wage in the league.[4]
In 2019, Trọng Hoàng signed for the newly promoted V.League 1 club Viettel, signing a three-year contract. He was part of the squad that won the 2020 V.League 1, making 12 appearances during the season.[5] He was also named in the V.League Team of the season.[6]
In January 2022, Trọng Hoàng returned back to Sông Lam Nghệ An and was named as the team vice-captain. His second spell with the team was marked by several months of absents due to disc herniation.[7]
In February 2024, Trọng Hoàng terminated his contract with Sông Lam Nghệ An and joined V.League 1 fellow Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh in a free transfer.[8]
International career
editIn 2007, Trọng Hoàng was in Alfred Riedl's plan for the 2007 Southeast Asian Games. However, he was left out because he had to take the final exam for his high school studies.
In 2009, Trọng Hoàng was again chosen to play in the 2009 Southeast Asian Games by Henrique Calisto. Trọng Hoàng scored in the third game of the tournament against Malaysia. However, he was injured when he played against Cambodia, which prevented him from playing in the semi-final. In the tournament's final, Trọng Hoàng came on as the substitute but the team lost against Malaysia in the final and received the silver medal. Despite the loss, the team's performance in the tournament was impressive enough that Trọng Hoàng is one of the few players who were called up to play in the national team.
In 2010, he was again chosen to play in the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, in which he scored two goals against Turkmenistan and Bahrain to help Vietnam proceed into the second round for the first time in history. The team lost to North Korea, but he was then selected to play in the 2010 AFF Suzuki Cup. In the first game, Trọng Hoàng scored two goals against Myanmar after he came on at the 72–minute. The team came on to win 7–1.[9]
