Mohd Amri bin Yahyah also known as Amri Yahyah [1] (born 21 January 1981) is a Malaysian professional footballer who currently plays for Malaysia A1 Semi-Pro League club PT Athletic.[2] He has also represented the Malaysian national team. Amri plays mainly as a forward, but also as an attacking midfielder.

Amri spent most of his successful career at Selangor where he made 427 appearances, scoring 138 goals.[3] He had another successful career with Johor Darul Ta'zim from 2014 until 2016 making 103 appearances scoring 22 goals.[3]

On 16 December 2023, Amri announced his retirement via Sabah's social media. The 2023 Malaysia Super League final match against Kedah Darul Aman was to be his last as a professional footballer.[4] Amri has played more than 600 matches in his career, scoring 188 goals for club and country.[3] However he came out of retirement in May 2024 to play for Malaysia second division club PT Athletic.

Club career

Selangor

Born in Tanjung Karang, Selangor, Amri signed a contract with Selangor F.C. in 2001 and helped the outfit to the treble (Premier League Malaysia, Malaysian FA Cup and Malaysia Cup) in 2005.

Amri became a cult hero when he scored a golden goal against Sabah in the 2002 Malaysia Cup Final. He was made the Selangor team captain in the 2009 Malaysia Super League campaign.

Amri is a versatile player, having played in a number of different positions including as a defender, winger, defensive and attacking midfielder, and striker.

Johor Darul Ta'zim

Amri completed his transfer to Johor Darul Ta'zim for 2014 season of Malaysia Super League, with a monthly salary reported to be around RM 85,000.[5] Johor Darul Ta'zim became the Malaysian Super League champions, narrowly overtaking Amri's former club Selangor by a mere 3 points on the last day of the league.[6]

Even after his transfer, Amri remained popular with the Selangor fans until his ultimate faux pas - celebrating a goal against Selangor by dancing in full view of its supporters. It was rumoured that he did this to spite the Football Association of Selangor.[7] Selangor went on to win the game 4–1. He later apologised, which Selangor fans spurned, as he was booed upon his return to Shah Alam Stadium to face Selangor. Some furious supporters even tossed bottles at him when he came over to the Selangor section to applaud them.[8] Amri reportedly shed tears after that insult.[9] However, he remains hugely popular with Malaysian fans in general.

Melaka United

On 16 December 2016, Amri signed a one-year contract with newly promoted club Melaka United for an undisclosed fee after his contract with Johor Darul Ta'zim expired.[10][11] On 21 February 2017, Amri made his debut for Melaka United in a 2–0 win over Kelantan playing for 90 minutes.[12] On 14 February 2017, Amri scored a winning goal for his side in Malaysia FA Cup campaign over PKNS.

Return to Selangor

In May 2017, Melaka United announced that Amri Yahyah was returning to his former club Selangor in the mid-season transfer window.[13] Amri made his league debut in 0–2 defeat against Pahang on 24 May 2017.[14] Amri scored his league goal on 22 July 2017 in a 1–0 win over Kelantan. His second league goal came from 2–1 win over Johor Darul Ta'zim on 5 August 2017.

Amri Yahyah departed Selangor at the end of the 2019 season.[15]

Sarawak United

At the end of January 2020, Amri joined the Sarawak United for the start of Malaysia League 2020 season.

Sabah

During the 2021 transfer window, Amri, now 40, signed for Sabah on 18 February 2021. It makes the twentieth seasons for Amri in the domestic competition.[16]

On 25 April 2022, during the Malaysian Super League match against Kedah Darul Aman Amri set a league record by scoring a hattrick. Now aged 41, the former international started the game after injury to striker-in-chief Neto Pessoa and he repaid the faith with a hattrick in the second half. Amri rifled home the first in the 51st minute and added his second with an expertly taken shot from a tight angle 10 minutes later. The veteran striker completed his hattrick with another breathtaking effort by chipping the ball beyond the reach of opposition goalkeeper Ifwat Akmal in the 72nd minute. Coach Ong Kim Swee, said to reporters that Amri's hat-trick at the age of 41 will be difficult to emulate.[17]

PT Athletic

On 2 May 2024, Amri came out from retirement by joining PT Athletic who compete in the Malaysia A1 Semi-Pro League in the 2024– 25 season. The participation of the 43-year-old was revealed during the club jersey launch ceremony.[18][19][20][21]

International career

The right-footed player represented Malaysia in the 2003 Sea Games in Hanoi, Vietnam, the Afro-Asian Games Hyderabad, India in October 2003, and also in the 2004 Tiger Cup helping Malaysia to finish third.[22]

His first debut in senior national team was on 8 September 2004 in an action of match in 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification against China, where Malaysia lost 1–0.

In November 2010, Amri was called up to the Malaysian national squad by coach K. Rajagopal for the 2010 AFF Suzuki Cup. Amri scored twice against Laos to secure a 5–1 win. Malaysia went on to win the 2010 AFF Suzuki Cup title for the first time.

During the 2016 AFF Championship, Amri scored a brace to secure to his a 3–2 win over Cambodia on 20 November 2016.

Others

His following grew significantly after scoring a brace for Malaysia Selection in a pre-season exhibition match on 18 July 2009, against English champions Manchester United. The latter ran out 3–2 winners.[23]

In July 2011, Amri was called up to represent Malaysia Selection against Chelsea.[24]

On 10 August 2013, Amri once again lived up to his reputation of scoring against top foreign clubs by scoring the only Malaysian goal in a 3–1 loss to Barcelona during their 2013 Asia Tour.[25]
