Zuryhakim is still in the early stages of his youth career, with developmental experience in national youth teams and Negeri Sembilan U‑20. His modest physical and technical simulation profiles suggest long-term potential rather than immediate impact.

As a centre-back prospect, consistent minutes in the President Cup and potential inclusion in Malaysia U‑19 or U‑21 squads in coming seasons will be key to his progression.
