A burly forward with outstanding strength and a powerful shot in his armoury, Rasaq is one of the best young local strikers in the country at the moment and is determined to kick on this campaign.

He has shown potential from a young age, representing Singapore at various youth levels and scoring in his first year as a full-fledged professional in 2019 before impressing with the Young Lions in 2022. That earned him the move to the Sailors, where he enjoyed a spectacular first season with the Sailors – scoring a career-high 10 goals to finish as the SPL’s joint-top local scorer along with teammate Shawal Anuar in 2023.

Injury slightly curtained his progress last year, but Rasaq has shown the mental fortitude to bounce back from setbacks. An impressive loan spell at Albirex Niigata (S) for the second half of last season saw him rediscover his goalscoring instincts and that will stand him in good stead in 2026/27.
