Born in Liverpool, Ng was in Crewe Alexandra's youth system for ten years before signing his first professional contract for two years on 14 May 2014. On 1 November 2014, he had his first inclusion in a matchday squad, remaining an unused substitute in a 1–1 draw at Crawley Town in League One.

On 30 January 2015, Ng was loaned for a month to Hyde United of the Conference North. He made his senior debut on 7 February, playing the full 90 minutes of a 1–3 home loss to Boston United. Ng twice extended his loan for the struggling team, eventually for the remainder of the season. He totalled 13 appearances, all starts, as they ended the season bottom of the table, and scored his first senior goal on 14 March, a last-minute equaliser in a 1–1 draw with Harrogate Town at Ewen Fields.

On 27 November 2015, Ng made his debut for Crewe, coming on in added time in place of Ryan Colclough in a 1–0 win over Oldham Athletic at Gresty Road. He made Crewe's starting XI for the first time on 5 May 2016 against Burton Albion at Gresty Road.

On 22 May 2017, Ng signed a new one-year deal, including an option for a further 12 months depending on appearances.

Four weeks later, on 9 September 2017, he scored his first Crewe goal in a 5–1 win over Chesterfield at Gresty Road.
