A bit of a sports fanatic who dallied with badminton and track and field, Hui Xin gave football a go with friends when in primary school and was hooked by the camaraderie and team dynamics of football.
The sport took her on a journey of highs and lows that featured a Direct Schools Admission (DSA) entry into Victoria Junior College, stints with Home United – the previous iteration of the Lion City Sailors – and Woodlands Wellington.
A midfield enforcer who possesses superb playmaking abilities, Hui Xin is a real leader in this young Sailors side and her years of experience comes in handy to help guide the rising talents of the Singapore women’s game.

An elegant midfield playmaker who always seems to have an extra yard of space on the ball and has the vision to produce defence-splitting passes, Hami has long been viewed as one of the most accomplished local midfielders since making his professional debut in 2016.
He has already chalked up than 200 professional club appearances under his belt and is now going into his 11th season in the Singapore Premier League.
Hami enjoyed an excellent 2019 season with Home United – the former iteration of the Sailors – scoring the decisive penalty to help the club win the Community Shield, and also netting a long-range scorcher on his AFC Cup debut.
Hami has since kicked on to be a regular in the Singapore national team and is already a lynchpin in the Sailors’ engine room. He was undoubtedly one of the Sailors’ best performers in the recent 2024/25 season, in which he excelled in the unfamiliar position at right wing-back.

Fan favourite Song returned home to the Sailors in 2024, following stints in Thailand and Indonesia with Nongbua and Persebaya respectively the past year. Known for his superb technical abilities and unwavering commitment on the pitch, he is set to play an integral role in the Sailors’ pursuit for domestic supremacy and continental breakthough this coming campaign.
The South Korean-born attacker played an integral role in the Sailors’ initial rise between 2020 to 2022, as he carved out a reputation for scoring in critical matches. Some of his most notable goals include the opener in a 4-1 win over Balestier Khalsa that secured the club’s first-ever SPL title in 2021, as well as the strike that inspired the Sailors to a historic 3-0 win over Daegu FC in the Asian Football Confederation Champions League (ACL) – the first time a Singaporean club had beaten a K-League outfit.
In the 2024/25 season, Song starred once again with crucial goals in the ACL Two to lead the club to a first final in a major Asian club competition. Now a veteran, he will continue to impart his experience to the younger players embedded in the squad.
