Early career edit
Born in Tây Ninh, Thanh Nhàn started his youth career by participating in local youth football tournaments. His talent quickly impressed the local football managers, who advised him to take part in the admission test of youth football academies. Although in 2013 Thanh Nhàn was admitted to PVF Football Academy, he couldn't join the academy for personal reasons.[2][3] In 2014, he joined Tây Ninh youth academy. His performances during the 2019 Vietnamese National U-17 Football Championship caught the attention of Vietnam U19 manager Philippe Troussier. PVF Football Academy signed Thanh Nhàn under Troussier's demand.[4] Thanh Nhàn won two consecutives Vietnamese National U-19 Football Championships with PVF and was named as best player in the 2021 edition with seven goals scored.[5]

He scored two goals in the 2023 Vietnamese Cup to help PVF-CAND reaching the semi finals for the first time in the history before getting eliminated by Đống Á Thanh Hóa. In V.League 2, Thanh Nhàn bagged 10 goals like the previous season and finished as the top scorer for the second season in a row, as PVF-CAND ended up the season as the league's runner-up.
