KUALA LUMPUR — Sabah FC have secured the signing of Fergus Tierney, who joins the Super League side following the end of his loan spell with Thai League 2 club Nakhon Pathom United.
The 22-year-old national forward, who has earned six caps and scored once for the Malaysian national team, Harimau Malaya, previously played for Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT). He is expected to bolster Sabah’s attacking options for the 2025/2026 Malaysia League season.
“We’re delighted to welcome Fergus to our family. His experience in Thai football, at JDT, and with the national team makes him a valuable addition to our squad,” the club said in a statement today.
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Tierney holds a Malaysian passport, having grown up in Malaysia. He also made 12 appearances for the national Under-23 team, scoring three goals.
Meanwhile, Sabah FC also announced their squad list for the upcoming season, with several Harimau Malaya players retained — including striker Darren Lok, midfielder Stuart Wilkin, defenders Dominic Tan and Daniel Ting, and veteran goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat.
Among the new foreign signings are New Zealand international defender Dane Ingham, Australian midfielder Dean Pelekanos, and Bosnian forward Ajdin Mujagic. Spanish midfielder Miguel Cifuentes remains with the squad.
However, the club confirmed that South Korean defender Park Tae-soo — affectionately nicknamed “Karim” by fans — has been released. Park served as team captain last season. — June 23, 2025
