Nguyen played youth football with Loko Vltavín and Sparta Prague, joining the latter in 2012.[3] On 20 October 2013, Nguyen appeared in the Sparta first-team squad for the first-team, being an unused substitute for a Czech First League home win over city rivals Dukla Prague.[1] He departed the club in 2015 to play for Cidlina Nový Bydžov.[3] 2016 saw Nguyen complete a move to Czech National Football League side Vlašim.[1] He made his professional debut for Vlašim v. Karviná on 26 March.[1] Forty-two appearances followed across his first three seasons.[1] In February 2018, Slovan Liberec completed the signing of Nguyen; signing until 2021.[4]
In July 2019, it was reported that Nguyen, who is of Vietnamese descent, was in the process of becoming naturalizsed as a Vietnamese citizen, which would allow him to represent the country's national team for the succeeding 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[5]
In September 2020, Nguyen received his first call-up to the Czech Republic national team for their UEFA Nations League match against Scotland on 7 September. Due to positive SARS-CoV-2 tests in the previous Czech squad, all players and the coaching staff which faced Slovakia on 4 September had to be replaced.[6]
