Club career

Born in Haiphong, Trung Hiếu was formed in the Than Quảng Ninh youth academy. He was promoted to the first team in 2018 and was mainly used as a winger. In August 2021, Than Quảng Ninh ceased operations because the team was uncapable of paying the team members' salaries.^[2] As the result, Trung Hiếu worked as a security guard during a short period.^[3]

In 2022, Trung Hiếu joined his hometown club Hải Phòng. At the new team, he was repositioned to operate as right back. He quickly became a crucial starter with his regularity and compliance with coach coach Chu Đình Nghiêm's tactical requirements. He was the wing back with the most game time during the 2023 V.League 1 season, appearing in 18 out of 20 matches possible.^[4]

International career

In September 2023, Trung Hiếu was called up to the Vietnam national team.^[4] On 11 September 2023, he made his international debut in a friendly match against Palestine but was substituted out after seven minutes following a fibula fracture.^[5]

Personal life

In May 2023, Trung Hiếu married former Vietnam women's national team player Châu Thị Vang.^[6]
