Club career

Brunei

Initially a central defender, Norsillmy was a relative newcomer to the Brunei squad that was competing in the Malaysian M-League in 1999, coached by Englishman David Booth. [4] Although they finished seventh in Premier One, they began a hot streak in the subsequent Malaysia Cup campaign which concluded with winning the silverware, Brunei's first in 20 years of participation. [5] Norsillmy played in that final, a 2-1 victory over Sarawak hosted at the Merdeka Stadium in Kuala Lumpur. [6]

Due to the restriction of import players in the following season, then coach Mick Jones started to place Norsillmy in attack, complimenting the diminutive Riwandi Wahit in a little-and-large combination. [7] Both of them only managed to score five goals each as the lack of foreign firepower condemned Brunei to the foot of the table and relegation to Premier Two. [8]

Norsillmy stayed with the Wasps until the 2004 season, scoring 22 goals in the role of a striker. [9]

Later career

Norsillmy played for Wijaya FC in the domestic B-League, winning the 2002 FA Cup and the 2003 championship. [10] In fact, he scored the solitary winning goal against MS ABDB in the first FA Cup final. [11] He left Wijaya for Jerudong FC in 2009, [12] then accepted an invitation to train and possibly play for Brunei's professional club DPMM FC in late 2011, in view of the 2012 S.League. [13] Despite putting pen to paper on a professional contract, [14] he unfortunately failed the mandatory fitness test required by the S.League and failed to make his debut for the Gegar Gegar men. [15]

Norsillmy joined ambitious Majra FC at the start of the 2012-13 Brunei Super League and finished third in the new league. [16] [17] He moved to Najip FC in the following season, one of several big names to join the club that did not gain a single point the season before. [18] His brief but fruitful stay led Najip FC to third-place in the league as well as an FA Cup final appearance. [19] [20]

Norsillmy dropped a division in 2015, joining Kota Ranger FC in the Brunei Premier League, and finished in first place unbeaten. [21] Promotion to the 2016 Brunei Super League ensued, and he scored five goals to finish second in the goalscoring charts, despite his club only managing a sixth-place finish. [22]

International career

In May 1994, Norsillmy travelled to Kuala Lumpur with the Brunei under-19s for the 1994 AFC Youth Championship qualifying group matches and managed to score against Singapore. [23]

Norsillmy made his international debut for the Brunei national team on 2 August 1999 against Cambodia in a 3-3 draw at the 20th SEA Games hosted by his home country. [24] He gained 14 caps for the Wasps, his final tournament being the 2004 AFC Asian Cup qualification games against Maldives and Myanmar in March 2003. [25]
