Early career

In V.League 2, Thanh Nhàn bagged 10 goals like the previous season and finished as the top scorer for the second season in a row, as PVF-CAND ended up the season as the league's runner-up.
In the following season, Thanh Nhàn missed out several games due to injury, but manage to contribute 4 goals in PVF-CAND's runner-up campaign in the 2023–24 V.League 2. He was therefore named in the league's Team of the season.[7]
