Club career

He got his big break when Negeri Sembilan called him up for the first team in 2000. Two years later, he signed a contract with Selangor and remained there until 2008. His contract was terminated by Selangor after spending six years with the team.

After his contract with Selangor expired, he became a free agent for four months. In November 2008, he agreed to join a team based in Brunei DPMM Brunei for 2009 Malaysia League season, after finishing his duty with the national team.[1] However, he made a decision to return to his former team, Negeri Sembilan. Shukor helped them to win the Malaysia Cup 2009 and was named as the Man of the Match.[2]

After his contract with Negeri Sembilan expired, he then joined army team, ATM for the 2013 league season.

He represented the Malaysia XI squad as captain against Chelsea at Shah Alam Stadium on 29 July 2008. Malaysia XI eventually lost 0–2.[3] However, Chelsea's coach Luiz Felipe Scolari praised Malaysia XI for giving a good fight against his team.

He was unexpectedly recalled to Malaysia national team, after a long period of absence, for a match against Indonesia on 14 September 2014 by national coach Dollah Salleh.[4] He started the match, which ends in a 2–0 loss to Malaysia.[5]
