Shivan gunning for first team action, Olympics qualification

Malaysia U-19 and PKNS FC defender Shivan Pillay Asokan has two aims this year; to get competitive appearances at club level, and help the junior national team qualify for the 2020 Olympics.

The 18-year old centre back, when met in a promotional Adidas event on Saturday, said that he is eager to improve at the Red Ants this season.

"I would love to play a few matches at least with the senior team. Recently I went on pre-season with them, and got to play in a few games. It was a positive experience for me. I hope I can get more playing time for PKNS in the future.
