====2009–10 season====
On 22 May 2010, after a 0–3 loss to [[TSW Pegasus FC|Pegasus]], Chak was taken by team boss Philip Lee to the stands to meet [[South China AA|South China]] convener [[Steven Lo]], sparking rumours in the press that he would join the Caroliners.<ref>{{in lang|zh-hk}}[http://www.singpao.com/newsarticle.aspx?NewsID=93577&Lang=tc 流浪0:3不敵飛馬 小將翟廷峯上山] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927060000/http://www.singpao.com/newsarticle.aspx?NewsID=93577&Lang=tc |date=27 September 2011 }} Sing Pao. 23 May 2010.</ref> But in the end he stayed with the club.

====2010–11 season====
During the 2010–11 season, due to the cut on foreigners quota, Chak was named by Philip Lee as an important prospect for the club, along with teammate [[Lam Hok Hei]].<ref>{{in lang|zh-hk}}[http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/template/apple/art_main.php?iss_id=20100902&sec_id=25391&art_id=14407571 點將錄 4大小將爭上位] Apple Daily. 2 September 2010.</ref>
