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. In July 2008, Lai joined Sun Hei for an undisclosed fee.
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.
