UM-Damansara United FC have officially confirmed the signing of Wan Kuzri on a season-long loan from Negeri Sembilan FC, with the agreement running until the end of the 2025/26 season.

The announcement, shared via the club’s official channels, heralds the arrival of a “new Tiger in town” as UM-Damansara United continue to strengthen their squad for the remainder of the campaign. Wan Kuzri is expected to add quality and balance to the midfield, bringing both energy and tactical discipline as the team pushes forward in domestic competitions.

Born to a Malay family in Carbondale, Illinois, Wan Kuzri developed his football foundation in the United States. During his teenage years, he was part of the renowned St. Louis Scott Gallagher Academy before progressing to the collegiate level. He is a proud alumnus of the University of Akron, where he further honed his game in a competitive football environment.

At international level, Wan Kuzri has earned several call-ups to Malaysia’s junior national teams, reflecting his potential and standing among the country’s emerging talents. Standing at 180 cm (5 ft 11 in), he operates primarily as a central midfielder, offering versatility, composure on the ball and strong work rate in the middle of the park.

Football also runs deep in the family. Wan Kuzri is the younger brother of Wan Kuzain, a professional footballer based in the United States, while his eldest brother, Wan Ahmad Fayhsal, is an active figure in Malaysian politics.

UM-Damansara United FC expressed their excitement at seeing Wan Kuzri feature in the club’s iconic Blue & Pink colours, welcoming him into the squad and calling on supporters to back the team as the season unfolds. The loan move is also viewed as a positive step in the player’s continued development, providing valuable senior-level minutes while maintaining a strong relationship between both clubs.

With the deal now confirmed, attention turns to Wan Kuzri’s integration into the squad as he begins his journey with UM-Damansara United FC for the remainder of the 2025/26 season.
