Club career

Park was born in Gokseong, Jeonnam. His professional career began with Daegu FC. He is one of Daegu FC's foundation players, and featured in every season for the club from 2003 to 2007. In 2008, he shifted to Gwangju Sangmu, the sports division of the military, due to his joining the army for his compulsory two-year military service.

On 22 October 2009, he was discharged from the army, having fulfilled his military commitments, and returned to Daegu FC.[1] He quickly resumed playing duties, participating in the final match of the 2009 season.
