Phathana Phommathep is a Laotian professional footballer who plays as a winger or forward for Ezra F.C. and the Laos national football team.[1][2]

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.[3] 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.[3]

Career

Club

Making one appearance in the Mekong Cup against Buriram United of Thailand in 2016,[3] coach Leonardo Vitorino praised him as the most talented player he had seen in Lao football.[3] However, his progress as a player would be hampered by the disbandment of his club Lanexang United.[3] In June 2017, he signed for Kalasin F.C. of Thailand.[4] In 2017, he signed for Chonburi.[5][6]

International

He played in the 2016 AFC U-19 Championship qualifiers.[7] On June 7, 2017, the Savannakhet native made his senior team debut in a 4–0 loss to UAE.[8]
