After years of supporting from a far, home boy Muhammad
Ruffie landed back to Malaysia from the UK volunteering as one of Club Atletico
De Bukit Jelutong’s coach. Completing the in field addition of coaches together
with CABJ’s Manager, Brian Nathan. Ruffie is set and ready to help out the team
hopefully for more years to come.
Muhammad Ruffie was away when the club was in a midst of
establishing as he was furthering his studies at University of Bedforshire graduating in Football Studies.
In the UK, Ruffie has been exposed in playing and coaching
football and now with his comeback, we hope CABJ will be a great platform for
him to expose gliders to what he have gained there.
CABJ on the other hand are delightful to finally have their
own coach who to some, a familiar face to see. During the last 6 months after
the retirement of coach Safrizal and especially during the Tune Talk Safee Sali
League last 2 months, CABJ faced few hurdles in their training regime until a
few gliders such as Azrul Raimie, Ungku Nazrin and Muizz Raof stepped up to
temporary help out Manager Brian Nathan in the infield trainings. Though the
hurdles occurred in many desperate ways and moments for CABJ to go through the cup
championship, they still managed to bring home a medal being the Plate Champion
of the Tune Talk Safee Sali League 2012
And as Ruffie’s arrival bring us joy and another add on in the
Gliders family, it is also believed that with Brian Nathan working hand to hand
with him, the ingredients of a better victory might be waiting for CABJ soon
enough.
“I have always been a glider at heart because being here
when you guys started building the club made me feel like it is part of me when
I was away. So finally being home, especially being a part of where the club is
now makes me feel proud. I now can contribute to the club with what I have gained
from playing and coaching in the UK and with that I hope that the team will get
to higher ground not only on the field but off the field as well. I believe
that those who are willing to learn and improve will succeed and that is what I
want to do for CABJ!” said Ruffie earlier today.
Welcome back home Ruffie and Welcome again to the family.
