Vietnam is my second homeland. I will try every day, play my best with all my heart to contribute to Ninh Binh club as well as the Vietnamese national team in the future.
In many years of playing in the V.League, Nguyen Tai Loc is considered one of the foreign players with stable form and good expertise. The player born in 1994 has played for many teams such as Saigon FC, Hanoi FC, The Cong Viettel, Cong An Hanoi, Hong Linh Ha Tinh and Ninh Binh.
