Career
Cheng was a part of Bærumsløkka's youth setup before joining Stabæk in 2012.[2] Graduating through the academy, he signed a professional contract with Stabæk in 2019. He played as a winger at the time.[2] After being promoted to the senior squad in the winter of 2020, Cheng was loaned out to Notodden in the fall.[3][4] In 2021, he was loaned out to second-tier club Strømmen IF.[5]
In 2022, Cheng was on trial at Bryne FK,[6] but instead joined Strømmen permanently. He was then signed by Arendal Fotball in 2023, and regained motivation he had lost during the Stabæk years. He was also repurposed from winger to left-back. The Eliteserien club Sandefjord Fotball decided to buy the third-tier player ahead of the 2024 season, and he immediately established himself as a starting player.[5][7]
On 9 December 2025, Cheng signed a contract valid until 2029 with the option of a twelve-month extension with Polish club Widzew Łódź.[8]
