Club career
=Sài Gòn=
After several successes at Hanoi youth teams, Hữu Sơn was transferred to Saigon for the 2016 V.League 1 season. He had a difficult start in a professional level as he didn't have much game time during the 2016 and 2017 season. The 2018 season was a breakthrough for his career, as he became a starter for his team. Hữu Sơn started in 18 matches and scored 2 goals. In the following seasons, he received less game time, and was more often used as a rotation player. He was released by the team in 2020.{{cite web|url=https://bongdaplus.vn/v-league/tien-ve-nguyen-huu-son-tai-hop-clb-sai-gon-3517582112.html|title=Tiền vệ Nguyễn Hữu Sơn tái hợp CLB Sài Gòn|date=5 December 2021|publisher=Bongdaplus}}
