SHAH ALAM – National forward Mohamad Faisal Abdul Halim, better known as “Mickey” among his teammates, is set to join Selangor FC for next season’s Malaysia League.
The Football Association of Selangor in a statement posted on its official portal said Faisal, 24, will be the third new signing identified by coach Tan Cheng Hoe, after Ahmad Khuzaimi Piee and V. Ruventhiran.
The statement said winger Faisal will be a vital link in the Selangor squad that has gone on a team-building spree after a not so favourable season in 2022.
“Selangor FC is a big team which is popular and well known among everyone. Therefore, everybody wants to play for the Red Giants. I am lucky to have arrived here,” said Faisal.
Before signing for Selangor, Faisal had been with Penang FC and Sri Pahang FC before joining Terengganu FC in 2020 where he became a much-feared and sought-after striker.
His fine performances for Terengganu saw him roped into the national squad where he has become a regular in attack.
In Harimau Malaya’s 2022 AFF Cup opener on Wednesday, Faisal scored the only goal of the match to beat Myanmar 1-0 in Yangon, Myanmar. – Bernama, December 23, 2022
