Mohammad Fairuz bin Zakaria (born 25 May 1997) is a Malaysian professional footballer who plays as a full-back for Malaysia Super League club DPMM.[1][2]

Playing career

[edit | edit source]

Fairuz was a member of the Kedah Darul Aman under-21 team that reached all the way to the final of the 2018 Piala Presiden where they were beaten by Terengganu III.[3][4]

At the start of the 2019 Malaysia Premier League, Fairuz moved to Perlis Northern Lions but the team were disqualified from the league after only three matches played due to inaccurate documentation of feasibility by the Malaysian Football League (MFL).[5][6] Fairuz returned to Kedah Darul Aman, being registered with the first team in mid-season.[7]

Fairuz's next destination was Penang for the 2020 Malaysia Premier League and he helped the islanders win the championship after 11 games and subsequent promotion to the 2021 Malaysia Super League.[8][9] He returned to Kedah the year after and was a steady fixture at left back, boosting Sang Kenari to a second place finish behind Johor Darul Ta'zim who also eliminated them from the year's Malaysia Cup.[10][11][12]

Fairuz was re-signed by Penang from the 2022 season. Although the team had a torrid season and finished in last place,[13] they were saved from relegation by the withdrawals and expulsions of three clubs that finished above them: Petaling Jaya City, Melaka United and Sarawak United.[14][15] They also had an impressive run in the year's FA Cup where they reached the semi-finals.[16] Fairuz played with Penang for the next two campaigns until his release was announced by the club at the end of the 2024–25 season.[17]

On the same day of his announced release, Fairuz moved to Bruneian outfit DPMM for the 2025–26 season, the first Malaysian to be recruited for their new campaign in Malaysia.[18]
