FORMER national striker Khalid Jamlus will don Kelantan colours next season.
Khalid, whose 18 goals for Perak last season made him the top local scorer in the Malaysian Super League, said he believes playing Premier League football will help revive his career.
“This is something new for me. I am trying to revive my career with Kelantan and I hope that things will work out well,” said the Khalid, who was a mainstay in the 1997 World Youth Cup team.
Khalid’s signing is part of a recruitment drive that Kelantan are on as they have also signed Mohd Daudsu Jamaluddin, Mohd Nor Farhan and Ahmad Azlan Zainal in their bid to win promotion to the MSL.
But Khalid, who has also played for Selangor before, is their biggest signing thus far and the Perak-born said he is hoping to don national colours again.
“I hope my performance in Kelantan will get me a national call-up and I am determined to do my best here.”
Kelantan also unveiled Peter Butler as their coach yesterday.
Butler played professional football for several teams, including English sides Huddersfield Town, Cambridge United and Bury.
Butler takes over from former national coach Norizan Bakar.
