Born in Korea, Choi moved to Australia when he was in year 5 and received coaching and training at local football clubs.
At the age of 16, Choi was scouted by K-League side Daejeon Citizen FCs Youth Academy and spent three years with them. He said he was unfamiliar with the Korean style football - playing fast-paced.
Choi, playing in semi-professional leagues, said his goal is to join A-League first and move into European football in ten years.
