Sean Eugene Selvaraj (born 11 April 1996)[2] is a Malaysian footballer who plays for Malaysia Super League club Sri Pahang.
Club career[edit]
Early year[edit]
Born in Negeri Sembilan, Sean played for Negeri Sembilan under-21 from 2013 to 2015. He also was one of the players representing the Negeri Sembilan football in sporting events (Sukma) in Sarawak.[3]
Negeri Sembilan[edit]
In April 2016, Negeri Sembilan head coach, Gary Phillips confirmed that Sean would be definitely promoted to Negeri Sembilan's first team. He just made 9 appearances and scored two goals in Malaysia Premier League on two seasons (2016, 2017).
Selangor[edit]
On 4 December 2017, Sean signed a one-year contract with Malaysia Super League club Selangor on a free transfer.
Negeri Sembilan[edit]
In 2022 he returned to join the team Negeri Sembilan FC on a free transfer after spent two years with the team in 2016 and 2017. Since 2022 he has been with the team for one years and has become an important player throughout 2022. He has helped the team secure fourth place in the Malaysia Super League in 2022. It is an impressive achievement as the team has just been promoted from the Malaysia Premier League in the previous year and had shocked the other Malaysia Super League teams because Negeri Sembilan FC was considered an underdog team. He has made 12 appearances and score 2 goals during his time with Negeri Sembilan FC since 2022 and made a total of 21 appearances and score 4 goals overall for Negeri Sembilan since 2016.
International career[edit]
On 1 July 2017, Sean was called up to the Malaysia U-23 for 2018 AFC U-23 Championship qualification in 2017. Sean made his full debut on AFC qualification matches against Indonesia U-23 on 19 July 2017, playing 30 minutes in Bangkok, Thailand. The match ended with a 3–0 win for Malaysia.[4]
