Li Ka Chun

Li Ka Chun (; born 10 September 1993), nicknamed Lali, is a former Hong Kong professional footballer.

Club career Born in Hong Kong during British reign, Li was spotted by Kitchee as a 13 year old during a youth football development programme he was attending during the summer. He progressed well through the youth ranks, earning places in the Hong Kong national youth setup, and a trial with then-Premier League side Birmingham City in 2010. In July of the same year, along with fellow Kitchee teammate Ngan Lok Fung, he traveled to Spain to participate in youth training events organised by Tercera División side CF Amposta, the former club of his then-manager, Josep Gombau.

In July 2012, he returned to Rangers. However, after two seasons without fully breaking into the first team, he left for Eastern in June 2014. Only two months later, he was sent out on loan to Tai Po. He scored his first goal in the Premier League on 4 October, in a 1–2 defeat by Yuen Long.

In July 2015, having been demoted to Eastern's reserve team, he joined Metro Gallery on loan. He scored his first goal in the Sapling Cup, a consolation in a 1–3 defeat by South China.

Li returned to Eastern ahead of the 2016–17 season and was given the number 18 shirt. He made his debut for Eastern in a 7–0 victory over HKFC, providing an assist for teammate Lee Hong Lim. On 12 February, he scored his first goal for the club, the sixth of a 7–1 victory over R&F FC in the Sapling Cup. He scored against the same opposition in his second league game on 5 March; the fourth goal in a 4–0 victory. On 11 July 2017, it was revealed that Li's contract with Eastern was not renewed.

On 26 July 2017, Dreams confirmed that they had signed Li.

On 13 May 2018, Li captained Dreams on his final match of his career, having previously announced his retirement at the end of the season.

Personal life As well as football, Li also acts, and played a supporting role in a stage performance of Tin Hong's The Love Story on Gentlemen Street, organised by his club, Eastern.
