Club career

Born to a footballing family, Wafi began training with youth scheme Projek Ikan Pusu ever since he was 5 years old. [2] He attended Maktab Sains as a schoolboy. He was already a youth international by the age of 14, and was even invited to a football camp in Munich, Germany courtesy of Allianz two years later. [3]

Wafi began his league career with the Tabuan Muda national youth setup, captaining the under-17 club side in the 2016 Brunei Premier League followed by the 'A' team that played in the 2017-18 Brunei Super League. After a training stint at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan in late 2018, [4] Wafi joined DPMM FC initially as a youth player to compete in the 2019 Brunei Premier League. [5] After the academy side comfortably claimed the league title, Wafi's performances as captain impressed new head coach Adrian Pennock enough to place him in the first team. [6]

Wafi made his Singapore Premier League debut in the 1-7 victory against Balestier Khalsa on 13 April 2019. [7]

Playing domestically in the Brunei leagues since 2020, Wafi played at the 2022 Brunei FA Cup and won the competition on December 4 of that year. [8]

On 19 March 2023 in a 1–3 defeat against Geylang International, Wafi was stretchered off in the second half after an awkward landing, which was later revealed to be an anterior cruciate ligament injury alongside a meniscus tear on his right knee which ruled him out for the rest of the season. [9]
