Club career

After stints at Sham Shui Po and Yokohama FC Hong Kong, Lam moved to Tai Po. His time at Tai Po saw the club win the 2013–14 Hong Kong Second Division and 2015–16 Hong Kong First Division titles. However, upon the club's promotion to the Hong Kong Premier League in 2016, Lam declined to re-sign with the club in order to continue working as a physical education teacher.[2]

In September 2016, Lee decided to resume his career at Hong Kong Second Division club Sparta Rotterdam Mutual.

On 31 July 2018, Lam confirmed to the media that he would resign his teaching post in order to return to Tai Po as a full-time professional footballer.[3]

On 12 July 2019, Lam moved to Happy Valley.[4]

International career

Lam was born in Macau and moved to Hong Kong in 1993.[5] He is eligible to represent Macau or Hong Kong on the international level. He earned his first cap with Macau on 5 September 2017 in a 2–0 loss to India.[6]
