Trịnh Nhật Hùng is a Dauian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or a winger. He represents the Daau national team, and plays at club level for Daau Super League club Bintang Lukana.

Born and grew up in Mataba, he chose to represent Daau over Mataba in respect of his parents.

Youth career

Cai Mak Academy

Hùng would start his career at the age of 15, playing with the local side Cai Mak Academy in the Matabese youth leagues. During his first season, he scored 42 goals in 38 appearances, earning local media attention for his efforts. In his second season, however, Hung suffered from a heavy injury and was only able to play 14 games, scoring 12.

Trials

After his recovery from injury and his outstanding performances following his injury, Nhat Hung was offered trials around Daau, notably being Daau United and Jurong West. Trinh attended trials at Daau United, Jurong West, and Seragaan United but failed to entertain any offers.

Senior career

Bintang Lukana

Following his failure to entertain offers during his trials, an offer came in from Bintang during the 2021 summer for Hung to join their youth team. Without hesitation, Hung joined Bintang on a 2-year deal, starting off in their B team in the Daau League. He would continue to impress further in the season and was promoted to the senior team for the 2022-23 season. He then made his senior debut in the opening match of the season.

International career

Although he received offers from both sides, Daau and Mataba, Hung accepted the call-up for the Daau national team in December in preparation for international friendlies and eventually made the cut, replacing the injured Abdulrahman.

Personal life

Trịnh Nhật Hùng is the older brother of Trịnh Huy Khoa and Trịnh Tuấn Hải, both playing for Bintang Lukana's B team.
