Club career
Le Giang was born in Lučenec. He started off his career in Fiľakovo. He joined the Žilina youth system when he was fifteen. In 2011, he was promoted to the first team of MŠK Žilina. In July 2011, he joined Slovak club Zemplín Michalovce[1] on a one-year loan from Žilina. Patrik made his debut for Michalovce against LAFC Lučenec on 23 July 2011.[2] In June 2012, Le Giang returned to Žilina after his loan spell in Michalovce expired. Le Giang played his first match for Žilina on 15 May 2013 against ViOn Zlaté Moravce.
On 19 February 2023, he made his debut for Hanoi Police in a draw 1–1 against Hoang Anh Gia Lai. However in the middle of the season, he was loaned to Ho Chi Minh City due to the appearance of Filip Nguyen (both are non-naturalized Vietnamese players, but each team can only have 1 of them in the roster at the same time).
On 18 August 2024, after two successful seasons as the starter goalkeeper of Ho Chi Minh City, Le Giang was permanently transferred to the team, signing a three-year contract.[3]
