Lai Ka Fai (Chinese: 賴嘉輝; Jyutping: laai6 gaa1 fai1 ; born 30 May 1983) is a former Hong Kong professional footballer.

Club career

Sun Hei

On 2 June 2008, reports claimed that fellow First Division club Sun Hei was negotiating with Bulova Rangers for Lai's possible transfer.[1] In July 2008, Lai joined Sun Hei for an undisclosed fee.[2]

After the 2010–11 season, he left Sun Hei and joined newly-promotion First Division club Mutual. However, since Mutual refused promotion due to lack of sponsorship, Mutual was banned from Hong Kong league system for a season. Lai thus became a free agent.

Fukien

In the 2011–12 season, Lai joined Third 'A' Division club Fukien on a free transfer after being released by Mutual. He was appointed as the captain for the season. He scored a hat-trick against St. Joseph's on 20 November 2011, including two penalties.

Mutual

In July 2012, Lai rejoined Fourth Division club Mutual.

Rangers

On 8 June 2013, Lai joined First Division club Rangers for the third time on a free transfer.[3]
