Player Profile

The best way to describe Zulfahmi Arifin is a general on the pitch! Playing in a midfield role where tackles fly fast and furious is where Zulfahmi thrives at. He secures the Courts Young Lions backline and is not afraid to do the dirty work on the pitch. Zul, as he is known to his teammates, has already caught the eye of national coach Radojko Avramovic and has been called up to the senior squad on a couple of occasions. With his brilliant performance for his club in the league, it is only a matter of time he earns his first Singapore senior cap.
