Youth career

During his high school years at YMCA of Hong Kong Christian College,[1][2][3][4][5][6] Wu joined the Wanchai academy after taking an interest in football due to his father, who was a football fan. He later joined the Pegasus academy where he helped his side to win the 2014-15 Hong Kong FA Youth Cup.
