Shariff Abdul Samat (born 5 January 1984) is a Singaporean international footballer who plays for S.League side Geylang International.
Shariff is the son of the former Singaporean international footballer, Samad Allapitchay. Like his father, he usually plays as a centre back.
Shariff has previously played for S.League clubs Sembawang Rangers FC, Young Lions and Tampines Rovers FC.
He was brought into the Tampines Rovers squad from the Young Lions after a stint with Sembawang Rangers FC, largely as a back-up player for the 2007/2008 highlighting season. However, due to fellow team-mate Sead Muratovic's failure to pass the annual fitness test, he became a major part of the first team's fixture in the S-League. He then join Home United FC in 2010.
He is also known as a hot-tempered player, and was once handed out an eight-month ban by the Football Association of Singapore for throwing a punch at a Geylang United FC player, Peter Bennett in a S-League match when he was a Sembawang Rangers FC player.
Shariff spent half a season in the NFL Division 2 side Admiralty FC during the first half of 2012, and it was announced that he would rejoin S.League side Tampines Rovers for the second half of their 2012 season. However, he failed to break into the squad and was released at the end of the season.
