Gabriel Quak Jun Yi (born 22 December 1990) is a Singapore international footballer who plays as a left winger or right inside-forward[2] for Singapore Premier League side Home United FC.

Club career

Young Lions

Quak began his professional football career with Under-23 side Young Lions in the S.League in 2008.

Quak was one of the Young Lions players involved in an on-pitch fight with Beijing Guoan Talent players in their S.League match on 7 September 2010. He was charged by the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) for gross misconduct and bringing the game into disrepute and was banned for four months and fined S$1,000 for his part in the brawl.[3] Quak missed the 2010 Asian Games as a result of the ban.

LionsXII

In December 2011, the FAS announced that Quak was to join the newly formed LionsXII for the 2012 Malaysia Super League. National service commitments however meant that Quak failed to make a single appearance throughout the 2012 season.[4] He was de-registered in the mid-season transfer window.

Quak returned to the LionsXII squad for the 2013 season. He made his long-awaited debut against PKNS on 15 January.[5] He made 15 appearances in all competitions as the Lions won the 2013 Malaysia Super League.

The left-footed Quak was switched to the right side of attack for both club and country for the 2014 season.[2] He scored his first LionsXII goal in a 3–0 win over DRB-Hicom in the Malaysia FA Cup on 21 January. He scored his first league goal, an opener against newly promoted side PDRM FA , as Lionsxii defeated them 5-3.[6]

On the opening day of the 2015 Malaysian Super League Season, Gabriel scored the Lionsxii's first goal of the season, helping the Lionsxii win their opening match 5-3 against PDRM FA.[7] Similarly, in the Lionsxii's opening game in the Malaysia FA Cup, Gabriel scored the 3rd goal in a 4-0 win against minnows PB Melayu Kedah to push the Lionsxii into the Round of 16.[8]

Geylang International

Following the dissolution of the LionsXII, Quak signed for Geylang International and scored his first goal for the Eagles in a league match against Warriors FC, ending a long goalscoring drought.

Matsumoto Yamaga trial

After Geylang International and Matsumoto Yamaga signed a MOU,[9] Quak together with fellow winger Shawal Anuar went on a one-week trial with the J2 side.[10] However, he was not signed by the club.

Siam Navy FC

In the upcoming Thai League 2018 season, Gabriel signs for Thai League 1 side Royal Thai Navy and fill up their ASEAN import slot. On 11 February 2018, he made his starting debut against Ubon UMT.

He started as the 1st eleven in the 1st 2 matches but was substituted at half time in both matches.[11][12]

In total, he scored 4 goals and created 1 assist in 24 games for the Thai side which were relegated eventually.[13]

Warriors FC

Quak signed for Warriors FC for the 2019 season despite receiving lucrative offers from overseas club in order to spend more time with his young family.[13]

International career

Gabriel Quak has played for Singapore at Under-15, Under-18 and Under-23 levels. He represented Singapore in the Lion City Cup, AFF U15 Tournament, Asian Youth Games Qualifiers, AFC U18 Qualifiers, VFF Cup and Southeast Asian Games.[14]

Quak earned his first international cap in a friendly match against Laos on 7 June 2013, scoring a goal on his debut.[15] His first competitive goal came in an upset win over Syria in a 2015 AFC Asian Cup qualification match on 15 October 2013.

He is the first Singapore-born Chinese player to feature regularly for the national team in 7 years since Goh Tat Chuan despite the ethnic Chinese forming the majority of the population.[16]

He was selected as part of the Singapore Selection squad for The Sultan of Selangor’s Cup to be held on 6 May 2017.[17]
