Club career[edit]

Li began his football career at the age of 15, joining youth team of Balestier Khalsa in 2009.^[1]^[2] He was promoted to the Prime League team of the S-League club Balestier Khalsa when he was just 17, spending just one season playing under Salim Moin before leaving the club due to personal reasons.

Li had a short stint with Vipers FAA in 2013, which is a football club which competes in the National Football League (NFL) Division 3, the fourth-tier association football league in Singapore at that time. He played as a centre back and created a goal in his debut in a friendly match.

In 2016, he underwent unsuccessful trial at Gymkhana FC after playing 4 matches. He was selected in the squad of a non-league side, Simei United which intend to take part in Island Wide League but failed to do so. Partly due to his injury sustained in the friendly, he quit soon after.

Debuted in 5-1 defeat against Warwick Knight for pre season friendly. However, the chairman decided to withdrew from the league just 1 week before kick-off without notice. Thereafter, he joined Admiralty CSC and played against Singapore U22 in a friendly and was de-register from the squad due to injury.

In 2011, he was given the contact of Technical Director from Chinese Taipei Football Association to arrange a trial but he was unsure about his future of where to settle down and his studies. Hence, letting go the opportunity.
