Early life

Victor was raised in Bedong, a small town in Kedah located approximately 12 km north of Sungai Petani. He is the son of Andrag Narimuthu and Anamah Joseph. During his school years at Sultan Abdul Hamid College in Alor Setar, he was active as a 400-metre track athlete. He began his football career with Kedah Ansell, a club based in Kulim.

Club career

[edit]

Kedah FA

[edit]

Victor became one of the longest-serving and most experienced players at Kedah FA, having joined the team in 2002. He was appointed team captain following the departures of Akmal Rizal Ahmad Rakhli and Mohd Fauzi Nan. Under head coach Mohd Azraai Khor Abdullah, Victor was a key figure in central defence, although former coach Jørgen Erik Larsen had previously deployed him as a full-back. Known for his height and physical presence, he played a pivotal role in the team's defensive lineup.

Victor was part of the squad that achieved the historic double treble, winning the league, cup, and FA Cup titles in both the 2006–07 and 2007–08 seasons.[2][3]

International career

[edit]

Victor was selected for the Malaysia national football team under head coach Allan Harris for the 2002 Tiger Cup. He made two appearances in the tournament, featuring in matches against Laos and Vietnam.

Managerial career

[edit]

Following his retirement from professional football, Victor served as an assistant coach at Penang FA in 2012, working under head coach János Krecska.[4] He later returned to Kedah FA, where he took on a role as a youth coach.[5]

In 2019, Victor was appointed as assistant coach to Aidil Sharin Sahak at Kedah. On 17 October 2022, following Aidil Sharin’s departure, Victor was named interim head coach. He held the position until December 2022, when Nafuzi Zain, former head coach of Terengganu FC, was appointed as the new head coach of Kedah.[6]
