Playing career

Park was going to join a university, but he left for Philippines after heard the news that a Philippine football club is recruiting South Korean players. In 2013, he joined Team Socceroo, a team of Philippine second division, and contributed to their league title. The next year, he scored six goals and provided six assists during 21 games in the first division. He moved to Pachanga Diliman and participated in cup competitions after finished the league.[3]

In 2015, he was eliminated from tryouts for Marítimo and Teplička nad Váhom, challenging Europe, but succeeded in joining FC St. Pauli.[3] He established himself as the first team's right back in the second half of the 2017–18 season. On 6 May 2018, he scored the crucial winning goal against Arminia Bielefeld which prevented team's relegation.[4] In August 2018, he agreed a contract extension until 2022.[1] However, he didn't appear for long due to his injury and the COVID-19 pandemic. He wanted to play in the 3. Liga to recover his sense about football, and joined Türkgücü München.[5]
