Club career

Gombak United

Fazrul was released by Geylang United after a contractual dispute and it was reported in Malay newspapers that he had finally signed for Gombak United after strong rumours that he would join Sengkang Punggol with his former team-mates Aide Iskandar, Noh Rahman and Amos Boon. However these rumours have since been proven to be false and Fazrul has been clubless for half a year . In May 2009, Gombak United coach Darren Stewart had announced that Fazrul will be joining his team. He made an immediate impact on his new team , scored 7 goals in 15 appearances for his new club. The following season , he score 18 goals in 31 games for Gombak United , becoming the highest born local top scorer in the league.

LionsXII

Fazrul left the Warriors for LionsXII in January 2013 to play in the Malaysia super league. However he was released in December 2013 after scoring just 4 goals in an injury-stricken season.

Home United

He then signed for Home United in 2014 and went on to score 14 goals in 34 games for the team, again becoming the highest local top scorer in that season.[1]

Sabah FA

In December 2014, he signed a 12 months contract with the Malaysia Premier League side , Sabah FA , however he was released 4 months later after suffering from an injury on his left knee. During his 4 months stay with the Malaysian club , he managed to score twice in 6 league appearances for the team.

Return to the Warriors

Following the end of his short stint with Sabah, Fazrul rejoined old club Warriors FC on the 2015 S.League mid-window transfer deadline after recovering from an injury sustain in Malaysia.[2] He scored two goals in first match after rejoining his old club, leading the Warriors to a 4-1 win over their uniformed rivals Home United.[3] In his second match of the season, he scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over Hougang United, sending the defending champions to second place in the table.[4] Tampines Rovers.[5] He finished the 2015 S.League season with 7 goals in 15 appearances for the team

Tampines Rovers

In December 2015 , He joined Tampines Rovers FC after turning down a new contract at his former club. He scored his first goal for Tampines in the second game of the season against Hougang United.

International career

Fazrul made his international debut for Singapore on 4 June 2005, against Malaysia, coming on as a substitute for Masrezwan Masturi, who had broken his nose.

In the second leg of the 2007 AFF Championship semi-final, Fazrul scored the fourth out of five successfully converted penalties for Singapore in a penalty shootout win over Malaysia.

In the 2007 South East Asian Games, Fazrul's performance in the group stages was largely criticised by the fans and the media. More criticism arose when he failed to score a penalty against Malaysia. If he had scored, Singapore would have avoided favourites Thailand in the semi-final match, which Singapore eventually lost 3–0, ending the nation's hopes for a gold or silver medal. In the Bronze Medal placing match, Fazrul made amends for his poor performance by scoring a hat-trick in a 5–0 victory against Vietnam, winning the bronze medal for Singapore.

Due to an injury to his anterior cruciate ligament, sustained in a league match against Tampines Rovers, Fazrul was forced to miss the 2008 AFF Championship, in which Singapore were knocked out in the semi-finals by Vietnam.

Prior to winning his 78th cap against Japan in a 0-3 defeat, Fazrul has amassed 9 goals in 77 appearances.[6] He scored his 10th international goal in his 80th Singapore cap in a friendly against Myanmar on 24 March 2016. He notched his 11th goal for Singapore and the last of Head Coach Bernd Stange's reign in charge of Singapore.[7]
