AN injured Wan Zack Haikal Wan Noor will not be returning to the M-League anytime soon as the national winger is eager to make it big in Japan.
An unnamed Super League team had approached his club, FC Ryukyu, who play in the Japan Football League (Division Three), offering a lucrative deal for the player's services.
The 22-year-old is contracted to the Okinawa-based club until March 2015 while left-back Nazirul Naim Che Hashim is on a 12-month contract. A frustrated Wan Zack Haikal has only played once since joining the team in March due to an ankle injury.
"I am not too keen to return to the M-League as I want to serve out my contract here. I have given this assurance to the club," said Wan Zack Haikal in Japan.
"Yes, I am slightly frustrated because of the injury. However, I am under treatment and will return to training soon. I want to fight for a spot in the first team."
Wan Zack, a member of last year's AFF Cup, is considered one of the best local wingers but his chronic ankle problem has been halting his progress.
On Thursday, the FA of Malaysia (FAM) had confirmed that an M-League club had approached Ryukyu.
Ryukyu had rejected the offer made by an agent representing the Malaysian side as they felt Wan Zack Haikal was still an asset despite being injured.
It is also stated in the Maran-born's contract that he cannot join any other Malaysian club aside from Young Tigers A before serving out his contract.
