Phathana Phommathep


Phathana Phommathep is a Laotian football Midfielder who plays for Phuket City in the Thai League 3 and the Laos national football team.

Early life

Born in a small village called Oudomvilay located in Savannakhet Province, he started playing football at an early age as his uncle was a coach of the local side. Aged eight, Phathana joined his first team and made his way to the incipient Korean-backed Ezra F.C.. During his time here, he attracted the interest from Lanexang United who saw him as a footballer they could build their squad around.

Career

Club

Making one appearance in the Mekong Cup against Buriram United of Thailand in 2016, his club viewed him as a regular starter in the 2017 season and his coach Leonardo Vitorino praised him as 'the most talented player he had seen in Lao football'. However, his progress as a player would be hampered by the disbandment of Lanexang United, the only professional club in Laos. In June 2017, he signed for Kalasin F.C. of Thailand.

International

For the 2016 AFC U-19 Championship qualifiers, he was the number 25 midfielder.
On June 7, 2017, the Savannakhet native made his senior team debut in a 4-0 loss to the UAE.
