Chen started to play football at the age of 10. He joined the school football team when he studied in Guan Yu Elementary School (管嶼國小) in his hometown Changhua. He later attended Fusing Junior High School (福興國中) in 1982 and Pei Men Senior High School, the then high school football power in southern Taiwan, in 1985. During his three years in Pei Men, the team won 4 champions and 1 runner-up in major domestic competitions.

In 1986, Chen played for the junior Chinese Taipei national team in the 1987 FIFA World Youth Championship qualification of OFC, to which Republic of China (Taiwan) belonged then, in New Zealand. Three years later, again in New Zealand, he made his senior team debut in the 1990 FIFA World Cup qualification. He gradually became an essential member of the national team during the 1990s.

After finishing serving the military service in Lukuang football team, Chen joined the Taiwan Power Company F.C. in 1993. He witnessed and participated in the brilliant years of 10 consecutive first-division champion titles of Taipower during 1994 to 2004.

In 2001, Pei Men Senior High School, his alma mater, started afresh to enroll football-specialized students and invited Chen to join the coaching staff. Under the guidance of Chen and other Pei Men coaches, the team took the league title in the Highschool Football League 2006 season, and he himself received the Best Coach award as well. Besides coaching in Pei Men, Chen did not end his playing career in Taipower and even won the Golden Shoe award in the 2002 season of Chinese Taipei National Football League. He has expressed, "My form improved as I trained myself as my players."^[1]
