The midfielder became the youngest-ever player to play in the First Division at 15 years and 309 days.
On 2 July 2007, Lo signed for Kitchee after his 8-year spell with Rangers, signing a one-year deal, with an option of another one-year extension. He was given the number 12 shirt.
On 2 September 2007, Lo made his league debut for Kitchee against South China to give the defending champion a 2–1 defeat.
