Template:Infobox football biography Muhammad Ridhuan bin Muhammad (born 6 May 1984) is a Singaporean former footballer who last played as a right-back for Singapore Premier League club Tanjong Pagar United. Mainly a right-back, Ridhuan has also played as defensive-midfielder and occasionally a winger or striker when called upon.

Club career

Ridhuan started playing football at the Milo Soccer School.[1] Ridhuan was part of the pioneer batch at the National Football Academy that was set up in 2000.[1]

Young Lions

Ridhuan started his career with S.League clubs Young Lions. First catching the eye for the national U18 team with his speed and mazy dribbling skills, he joined the Young Lions for the 2003 S.League season.

Tampines Rovers

In 2007, Tampines Rovers head coach Vorawan Chitavanich offered Ridhuan to play at Tampines Rovers which he accepted.[1]

Arema Malang

In 2009, Ridhuan was in the midst of discussion with Indonesian club Persib Bandung when fellow national footballer, Noh Alam Shah, invited him to join Arema Malang.[1] Ridhuan eventually signed with Arema and spent three and a half season with Arema and helped Arema to win the 2009–10 Indonesian Super League title.[1]

Putra Samrinda (loan)

In 2013, Ridhuan also spent half a season on loan at Putra Samarinda. He was wildly popular during his time in Indonesia and was often referred to as R6, a moniker of Cristiano Ronaldo's CR7.[2] However due to a possible ban by FIFA on football activities in Indonesia,[3] Ridhuan left the club and returned to Singapore.[1]

Geylang International

With a FIFA ban looming on all Indonesian footballing activities, Ridhuan moved back to Singapore with Geylang International after his 4-year sojourn.[4]

Tampines Rovers

Following his release by Tampines Rovers at the conclusion of the 2015 S.League season, Ridhuan announced his retirement from football to forge a new career in the oil and gas industry following his failure to secure a contract.[5]

Warriors

However, the speedy winger was snapped up by Warriors just before the start of the 2016 S.League season and made his debut as a substitute in a 3–1 loss against DPMM.[6] He scored his first goal of the season in a 2–2 draw against Geylang International to rescue a point for the Warriors after coming on as a substitute.[7] He repaid the faith that the Warriors had shown him by accumulating a total of four goals and six assists in all competitions.[8] His performances for the Warriors was rewarded with a contract extension for the 2017 S.League season.[4]

Borneo Samarinda

Ridhuan planned to end his footballing career in Indonesia and signed a one month deal with Borneo Samarinda in early 2018 to participate in a tournament.[1] After his contract ended, Warriors contacted Ridhuan to sign him back to the club but was rejected by him.[1]

Tanjong Pagar United

On 13 January 2021, Tanjong Pagar United has announced that they have signed Ridhuan for the 2021 season.[9] This marks him coming out of retirement from football since 2018. On 10 October 2021, Ridhuan retired from football after a season with the Jaguars, making four appearances for the club.
