Ng Wai Chiu (born 22 October 1981 in Hong Kong) is a Hong Kong professional football player cuurently playing for Hong Kong Premier League club Eastern. He has been capped for Hong Kong at various youth levels, including the Olympic U-23 team and is now a regular in senior 'A' internationals.
Ng Wai Chiu's father Ng Chi Ying was also a footballer for Guangdong. At the age of 7, Ng Wai Chiu moved from Kowloon Bay to Shatin's Hin Keng Estate. He then started playing football in the football field below his building. He began to challenge his father's football skills when he was 15 but lost every time. He joined the Hong Kong Sports Institute in the same year and met his Hong Kong defence partner Chan Wai Ho there for the first time.
Ng spent time learning his trade at various clubs, including a short spell in England when he was an apprentice with Huddersfield Town and Southampton side.
Unsatisfied with the Hong Kong League, Ng moved to Mainland to further develop his football ability. After gradually working his way up from the lower-divisions in Mainland, he signed for Nanjing Yoyo in the Chinese Jia League on 15 February 2004, before moving to Shanghai Zobon in the Chinese Super League in 2005.
In 2005, Ng Wai Chiu was a regular starter for newly promoted club Shanghai Zobon under coach Ma Liang-Xing. He played 23 matches for Zobon and scored 1 goal. The club finished 11th in the 14 team league. He was named as a member of the Shanghai United team to face Primera Liga outfits Villareal CF and Sevilla.
