Career

Ruyi started playing football when she was eight years old with Goal Elite Football Academy and FCKL Kuala Lumpur. [4] Her desire to play football as a student athlete and professionally was cemented when she experienced playing international football with the club and for a country in the AFF tournament and UEFA championships.

In 2019, Ruyi left home when she was awarded a football scholarship from the British International School, Phuket to pursue her football aspiration and train with BISP Cruzeiro FC in Phuket, Thailand. This opportunity further expanded her football horizon and exposure to inter alia the Brazilian football ideology and play styles. She captained the BISP Cruzeiro senior team from 2023 to 2024.

In May 2023, she debut with the Malaysia women's national team in the match against Myanmar in the 2023 SEA Games. [5]

In 2024, Ruyi joined Kelana United FC and played in the Malaysia National Women's League. In 2024, Ruyi moved to the United States to study at Trinity College and play with the Trinity Bantams. [6] [7] In 2025, Lauren was invited to share her experience at an event organised by the Embassy of Belgium, in partnership with the All Women’s Action Society (AWAM) and UNFPA in Malaysia, to address a critical issue affecting athletes: sexual harassment in sports.
