Club career

Career in Sweden

Tran spent his youth career at BK Olympic before stepping up to senior football. In 2018, he joined Varbergs BoIS in the Superettan, Sweden's second-highest division. He then moved to Kristianstad FC in 2019 and Torns IF in 2020, competing in Division 1/Ettan, the third tier of Swedish football. During this period, he established himself as a reliable midfielder, gaining consistent playing time and experience.

His most notable spell in Sweden was with Lunds BK, which he joined in 2021. Over four seasons, Tran became a key figure in the team's midfield, making 92 league appearances and scoring 5 goals. Known for his vision, passing range, and composure on the ball, he was an integral part of the club's strategy in the Ettan league.

Bắc Ninh

In August 2025, Tran made the significant move to Vietnam, signing for V.League 2 side Bac Ninh. The transfer marked a new chapter in his career, as he left Europe to play in his country of heritage for the first time. He was unveiled as a marquee signing for the newly-promoted club, which has invested heavily in its squad with the stated goal of achieving promotion to V.League 1.[2] He was given the number 10 shirt, signaling his importance to the team's creative and defensive plans in the midfield.

Personal life

Tran was born and raised in Sweden. His parents are Hoa ethnic Vietnamese, giving him eligibility to represent Vietnam at the international level.[3] His move to play professionally in Vietnam is seen as a step toward potentially being called up to the Vietnam national team.[4]
