Ye Yint Tun started his career with Yadanarbon FC, progressing through their youth system to the first-team squad.
Style of play ; Despite playing as a deep-lying midfielder, Ye Yint Tun does not rely on pace, stamina, physical attributes, box-to-box play and tackling like a typical ball-winning midfielder; instead, his reading of the game helps him anticipate any attacking threats from the opposition team, most of the time by covering space and making interceptions. His distribution of the ball, vision, creativity, playmaking skills, crossing ability, and range of passing, which are among the best in comparison to other midfielders in Myanmar, add to his importance in dictating the tempo of the game, as well as initiating team attacks.
