Mohammad Khairul Amri bin Mohammad Kamal (born 14 March 1985) is a Singapore international footballer who plays as a forward for Tampines Rovers in the S.League. He is known for his pace, sharp dribbling skills and a powerful shot with either foot.
He was named the first ever Lions’ Player of the Year for his performance in the 2006 S.League season on 4 January 2007.
Along with Baihakki Khaizan, Shahril Ishak and Hassan Sunny, Khairul Amri was in the pioneer batch of the National Football Academy graduates in 2000.
Khairul Amri has previously played for the S.League club Young Lions, where he began his professional footballing career.
The 2006 S.League season was a breakthrough season for the youngster, scoring more than 20 goals in all competitions, including a 4-bagger in a FA Cup Malaysia match. Khairul Amri was amongst the top scorers in the 2006 season of the S.League and many of his goals have come from free kicks. He went on to captain the Young Lions team in 2007 after then-captain Baihakki Khaizan left to join Geylang International.
In the mid-season transfer window of the 2008 S.League season, Khairul Amri moved to Tampines Rovers and capped off the season by winning the S-League's Young Player of The Year. However, he sustained a metatarsal injury in the 88th minute of the third-place play-offs of the 2008 Singapore Cup against his former club, the Young Lions, which ultimately ruled him out of action for two months.
