A modern-day full-back who is aggressive in the tackle and excels in making forward runs to support the attack, Zulqarnaen is an asset at both ends of the pitch. Part of the Sailors’ squad in the club’s inaugural season in 2020, he returned to play for Young Lions for one and a half seasons where he furthered his development before returning in mid-2022.
Having particular sparkled towards the end of 2023 with strong performances in the Tiger Cup against English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur and in the AFC Champions League, an unfortunate anterior cruciate ligament injury in March 2024 set him out for almost a year before he returned to action towards the end of the 2024/25 season.
Now fully fit, Mamat is hungry and raring to go for a huge 2025/26 campaign ahead.
