Percy Tau was born in 1994, South African. He is 1.75m tall, can play many positions on the forward line such as striker and winger.

With a price of 1 million euros according to Transfermarkt , Percy Tau is the most expensive contract among foreign players brought in by V-League clubs, and is the most classy foreign player that Nam Dinh Club has recruited up to this point.

Percy Tau's ability has been recognized in Europe, when he played for Brighton & Hove Albion against Manchester City in the Premier League in the 2020-2021 season. Percy Tau's peak was in the 2018-2019 season, when he played for Club Brugge and assisted a goal against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League.

At the national team level, Percy Tau is also a skilled striker. He has regularly played for the South African team in World Cup qualifiers and the African Cup of Nations since 2017.

In the last two matches played in March this year, Tau was in the starting lineup and helped the South African team win in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

The recruitment of Percy Tau is a move that clearly shows Nam Dinh's ambition to advance deep in the AFC Champions League Two. Even if he is registered to play in the V-League, Tau will be the highest-class foreign player in the Vietnam National Championship this season.

Nam Dinh can absolutely do this, because the deadline for clubs to amend and add personnel is before round 3 taking place on August 27.

In round 1 of V-League 2025 - 2026, Nam Dinh will play their opening match against Hai Phong at Thien Truong Stadium at 6:00 p.m. tonight, August 16.
