Club career[edit]
Kota Ranger[edit]
In 2016, Faturrahman was scouted by Kota Ranger FC while attending Institut Tahfiz Al-Quran Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah at the age of 16 and joined the first team the following year in the 2017–18 Brunei Super League.[2][3] He scored his first two career goals in a 2–1 victory over Najip I-Team on 3 May 2017.[3] He contributed six goals in an impressive first season where the Rangers finished just three points behind league champions MS ABDB in second place.[4]
The following 2018–19 season saw the addition of talented youngster Nur Asyraffahmi Norsamri to the team who gave a major contribution to Kota Ranger's first ever FA Cup final victory.[5] Faturrahman scored a total of five league goals for the campaign where his team finished in fifth position.[6]
Faturrahman scored five further goals including a hat-trick against BAKES FC at the 2021 Brunei Super League before the league was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7] He briefly left for further studies at the Ma’had Qiraat Al-Shoubra in Cairo, Egypt in October 2022.[8][9] He returned in the middle of the 2023 Brunei Super League campaign, registering three goals for the Rangers as they finished third, seven points behind runaway champions Kasuka FC.[10]
DPMM[edit]
In March 2024, Faturrahman was announced on DPMM FC's website to be one of several new local players to join the professional club for the upcoming 2024–25 Singapore Premier League.[11]
International career[edit]
Faturrahman was called up by Mario Rivera in February 2024 and was subsequently brought to Saudi Arabia for the newly created 2024 FIFA Series in the following month.[1] He made his international debut as a second-half substitute in a 2–0 defeat to Bermuda on 22 March 2024.[12]
