Club career
In 2013, Lau joined then Hong Kong First Division club Citizen but was released after one season when the club decided against applying for a club license in the newly formed, fully professional Hong Kong Premier League.
After a year away from football, he joined Central & Western after being recruited by their manager Fung Chung Ting.[1] He led the club in assists during his season at Central & Western.
In August 2016, Lau went on trial with newly formed HKPL club R&F. After a week of training, he was signed to a contract.[2]

On 24 July 2018, Lau was announced as a player for newly promoted side Hoi King.[5]
On 10 August 2019, it was announced that Lau would join another Hong Kong Premier League club Yuen Long.
