Club career
editKedah FA
editOne of the longest-serving players and highly experienced of the team starting from 2002, Victor was given the captain's armband after the departure of Akmal Rizal Ahmad Rakhli and Mohd Fauzi Nan. He was at the heart of the Kedah defence under Mohd Azraai Khor Abdullah though previous coach Jørgen Erik Larsen preferred to use him as a full-back. Victor's height and strength makes him a towering figure at the centre of the Kedah defence. He was a part of the squad that won historical double treble titles in the 2006–07 and 2007–08 season.[2][3]
International career
editFor international stages, Victor is also a part of Allan Harris team, Malaysia national team during 2002 Tiger Cup. He only made two appearances in the tournament, against Laos and Vietnam.

On 17 October 2022, after Aidil Sharin left his role as head coach, Victor was named interim coach before his position takeover by former Terengganu coach Nafuzi Zain in early December 2022 as head coach Kedah.[6]
