Club career[edit]

Aleshahnezan first played league football for NBT FC in the Brunei Premier League from 2007 to 2010.[2] Afterwards he moved to Majra FC after the conclusion of the 2011 Southeast Asian Games.[3] He switched clubs to Indera SC for the 2014 Brunei Super League season,[4] and stayed there for three years, winning the championship in his first year.[5]

International career[edit]

Aleshahnezan played for Brunei under-16s at the 2005 Lion City Cup, then the 2005 AFF U-20 Youth Championship held in Singapore and Indonesia respectively.[6][7] He then played three games for the under-21s at the 2007 Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy.[8] He made his international debut for the national team at the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup qualification matches held in the Philippines. He played twice in that tournament, against the home side and also Bhutan.[9][10]

Three years later, Aleshahnezan travelled with the national under-23 team to Indonesia for the 26th SEA Games, at a time when Brunei was just recovering from a two-year exile from international football.[11] He started in the only victory for the Young Wasps, a 2–1 win over the Philippines.[12]
