Club career
editA career soldier for the Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF, Malay: Angkatan Bersenjata Diraja Brunei – ABDB), Hariz started playing for the army's football team MS ABDB FT in the second half of the 2018–19 Brunei Super League. He made his league debut on 4 January 2019 in a 4–1 victory over Najip FC, scoring in the 80th minute.[2] He contributed five goals in nine appearances in his half-season, including winning goals against title rivals Indera SC as well as Kasuka FC,[3] helping the armymen to win the league championship for the fourth consecutive time.[4]
After the discontinued 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hariz led the line for a transitioning MS ABDB FT side in 2021 and scored five goals in as many games, acquiring his first career hat-trick against BAKES FC in a 4–1 victory on 11 July.[5] The league was again abandoned due to the detection of COVID-19 infections inside the country, ending an over 450-day record where Brunei had zero local COVID-19 transmissions stretching from June 2020.[6]
The next year, Hariz and the armymen participated in the 2022 Brunei FA Cup and went all the way to the semi-finals, where they were eliminated 1–3 on aggregate by Kasuka FC.[7]
International career
editHariz received his first callup to the national team for the 2022 World Cup qualification matches against Mongolia in July 2019, alongside nine other uncapped players.[8] He played for Brunei in an exhibition match against the BSL All-Stars on 30 March 2021, which ended in a 1–1 draw.[9] He made his unofficial debut for the Wasps in a 1–3 defeat to Sabah FC at the Track & Field Sports Complex on 6 September 2023.[10] His first international cap came five days later in a 10–0 defeat away to Hong Kong, as a second-half substitute.[11]
In October 2023, Hariz received a call-up for the national team at the 2026 World Cup qualification matches against Indonesia in a two-legged affair.[12] He featured from the start in the first leg at left midfield, directly against Saddil Ramdani and Asnawi Mangkualam and performed admirably, but in the end the Wasps succumbed to a 6–0 defeat.[13] Five days later in the return leg at Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium, Hariz only played for half-an-hour as a substitute for Abdul Azizi Ali Rahman where the Garuda ran out winners by repeating the same score from the previous clash.[14]
Hariz made five appearances in as many friendly games for Brunei in 2024, mostly as a substitute, as the Wasps recorded three wins against Vanuatu at the 2024 FIFA Series in March and also Sri Lanka which they played twice in June.[15] The following September, he was elected by interim Brunei head coach Jamie McAllister as a starter in both games against Macau at the play-offs for the third round of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualification. Hariz aided the Wasps to a 4–0 aggregate victory to advance Brunei to the next phase of the competition.[16] A month later however, Hariz was unable to replicate his recent form in both legs of the 2024 ASEAN Championship qualification, losing to Timor-Leste 0–1 on aggregate.[17] He lastly featured in a final friendly game in 2024 was against Russia national football team where the Wasps were beaten 11–0.[18]
