Personal life edit
Hoàng Thiên was born in Phú Thiện. On 27 May 2014 he was married to Dương Thị Ngọc Nguyệt, a nurse at the local hospital. Hoàng Thiên is known for being a devout Christian who attends church weekly and was humorously known as "Người con của Chúa" (Son of God) by his team mates.[2] He has a tattoo of a Christian cross on his left arm and a bible verse on his right.
Club career edit
Despite spending his whole career at that point with his home town club Hoàng Anh Gia Lai, after the end of the 2015 season Hoàng Thiên signed a two-year contract with SHB Đà Nẵng. Hoàng Thiên explained that although Hoàng Anh Gia Lai could pay him a higher salary he felt that Da Nang was the right city to raise a family and be comfortable.[3] After failing to break into the Da Nang squad for much of the 2017 season Hoàng Thiên moved to Sài Gòn F.C. in early May of that year.[4]
