Veteran goalkeeper Sam Somerville is set to make his debut for Melaka in today’s Super League clash against Brunei at the Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Stadium. Having had limited game time at Selangor over the past year, the 31-year-old described the loan as a "career-reviving move." He is determined to prove that he still belongs among the top shot-stoppers in the country.

Melaka’s coaching staff believes Somerville’s experience will be crucial in stabilizing a defense that has conceded several soft goals in recent weeks. His ability to organize the backline and his quick reflexes are expected to give the team a psychological boost. The keeper himself has stated that he is "hungry for clean sheets" and is treating every match like a final.

Facing Brunei on their home ground is never an easy task, but Melaka is banking on their new signing to keep the opposition at bay. A strong performance today could see Somerville return to the national team conversation, especially with the AFF Championship on the horizon. Fans are eager to see if this move will indeed be the turning point in his illustrious career.
