Amy Recha Pristifana bin Samion (born 13 April 1992), better known as Amy Recha, is a professional footballer who plays as a forward or midfielder for Singapore Premier League club Albirex Niigata (S), whom he vice-captains and the Singapore national team. Born in Indonesia, he represents Singapore at international level.
Amy was born in Surabaya, Indonesia and moved to Singapore at a young age. [1] Both his parents are Indonesian.
Amy made his debut for Geylang International in the S.League on 25 May 2011 against Balestier Khalsa, coming on as a 59th-minute substitute for Masrezwan Masturi in the 59th minute, in which he also scored his first goal of his career in the 72nd minute as Geylang lost the match 3–1. [2] He then scored his second goal of his career almost a year later on 10 May 2012 against Warriors in which he found the net in the 78th minute as Geylang drew the match 2–2. [3]
Amy was loaned to the Young Lions between 2014 and 2015 and returned to the club in 2016. [4]
Amy signed for Home United in 2018 after a dismal 2017 with Geylang International. [5]
In 2019, Amy returned to the Eagles' nest after 1 season with the Protector. [6]
Amy started the season off with an assist in a 2-–1 victory against Tanjong Pagar United after pressing on a loose ball and laying it off for Moresche. He followed this up with an opening goal against Hougang United in a 4–1 loss the following match. Despite losing 3 games in 5 matches, Amy had a good scoring streak having scored 4 and assisted 1 in the whole month of August. Amy would end his season with his best ever performance in his professional career with 12 goals and 3 assists.
On 19 January 2022, Amy signed for the Singapore Premier League side Hougang United. He'd score his first goal for the Cheetahs against his former sides as he converted a penalty against Zaiful Nizam. Amy would have a struggling season however as he went 7 games goalless until a 4–3 win against Cambodian side, Phnom Penh Crown in the 2022 AFC Cup where he scored a diving header. He'd score again against the Young Lions after the continental campaign but also made headlines for his open goal miss earlier. Recha would score and assist against the same opposition and followed this form with 2 goals against Lion City Sailors in a 9–4 defeat at home.
Amy would prove to be an integral member of the squad that won the Singapore Cup. He would assist Shawal Anuar and score a superb volley against Geylang to give his side the lead and also provide an assist in a 4–2 win against Albirex Niigata (S). His cup form then led to a call up to the national team for the 2022 AFF Championship.
Amy scored his first goal of the season on the first match against Balestier Khalsa, poking in a tap-in to give his side the eventual win. He then converted from the spot against Tanjong Pagar United in a 3–1 win on 28 May 2023. On 7 June 2023, he scored his first professional hat-trick against Brunei DPMM. The first goal after pouncing on a Zulfahmi Arifin through ball and the second after pouncing on the rebound after Kristijan Naumovski saved Kristijan Krajček's shot. The latter would then assist Recha for his third with a volley to finish it off. On 22 December 2023, Hougang United announced that he will leave the club at the end of the 2023 season.
On 30 December 2023, Albirex Niigata (S) announced the signing of Amy ahead of the 2024–25 Singapore Premier League season.
Amy was named in Singapore's tour of Japan in 2016, but did not play. [7]
On 27 August 2021, Amy was called up to train with the national team in September. [8] Then, on 11 November, he made his international debut in a friendly against Kyrgyzstan. [9]
In 2022, Amy was included in the national team for the 2022 FAS Tri-Nations Series and 2022 AFF Championship. [10] [11]
