Hau did not play any matches in the Eredivisie but he had four minutes in a Dutch Cup match in which SC Heerenveen beat Roda JC 2-0 last December. He also played for Heerenveen’s junior team.

In a talks with the media, the Vietnam international said he hoped to continue his journey in Europe, and Hanoi FC were supporting him.

“I wanted to keep fighting for an official berth in the first team. I hope Heerenveen will extend my contract so I can contribute to the club.”

After the end of the season, Heerenveen sold or ended their contracts with four defenders. They currently have four including 21-year-old Hau who will vie for places when matches resume.  VNS
