In 2024, during the U15 China Youth Football League, Kong formed a full-back partnership with Zhang Junhao that was credited with improving the team's tactical flexibility.[5] Later that year, he was converted into an inverted defensive midfielder role, playing as a number 8 in central midfield.[5]
