NEWS AND UPDATES

Gracias, Rufino Segovia!


Rufino Segovia, the Selangor talisman finally said goodbye after four years of playing for the Klang Valley giant.


The Spaniard has started his career with the Red Giants in 2017 after completing a transfer from Hong Kong club, Kitchee FC, and has been one of the key players in Selangor’s attacking department.


Rufino is lethal in front of goal and has made a total of 65 appearances and scored 46 goals during his playing in the Malaysian league.


In 2018, Rufino scored a whopping 31 goals in the unifi Liga Super and emerged as the league top scorer, and won the Gold Boot Award at the Anugerah Bola Sepak Kebangsaan (ABK).


The acceptance of the award makes 2018 the best and sweetest season for him in Selangor.


"In this life, sometimes we are above and sometimes below. 2018 is my best year in Selangor and I will remember the best memories of that season with the fans and the team forever, ”said the ‘Machine Gun’, his nickname in Selangor.


However, in 2019 he could not resume his best performance after being hit with Achilles tendon injury in the Super League match against Kuala Lumpur and had to be sidelined until the end of the season.


Before the devastating injury happened, he was the team's top scorer at that time with three goals in total after six games.


Like Phoenix rising from the ashes, Rufino made a 'comeback' from the injury and was listed in every CIMB Super League and Malaysia Cup 2020 matches this season.


He also managed to score two goals against JDT and PDRM as well as registered two assists for Brendan Gan against Pahang and Ifedayo Olusegun against Felda United.


Rufino is very grateful for the opportunity given by the FAS management and thanked FAS and Selangor supporters.


"I am grateful and proud of the FAS management because they always give the best for me the whole the four seasons I am here,"


“When I came to Selangor, people told me that Selangor fans are among the best supporters in Malaysia. In just one week, they have proven it. I am so proud to share all the good memories with them. My family is very happy to see Selangor supporters always celebrating me, ”


“I wish Selangor success in the future and will remember you all forever. Thank you, Selangor! ”


The Selangor management would like to thank Rufino Segovia the ‘Machine Gun of Red Giants’. Hope to see you again!
