Kota Kinabalu: Former Malaysian international Rozaimi Abdul Rahman has been signed up by Sabah FC to play in the MFL Under-23 squad for the 2024/25 season.
The 32-year-old almost rejoined the State team four years ago after his four-year tenure with JDT II ended in 2020 but the deal did not materialise in the end.

Sabah FC director Mohd Joh Hj Wid said the management and the player had reached an agreement that he would only play and train with the MFL U-23 team.
“We made the decision to recall Rozaimi because he has extensive experience in football.
He is an icon and we believe he can provide guidance and instruction to the young players,” he said after the contract signing ceremony held at the Sabah FC office in Kota Kinabalu.
Jo also welcomed the appointment of Johnny Dominicus and Rozaimie Rohim who have been retained as head coach and goalkeeper coach for the MFL U-23 team respectively.
