ST FILE PICTURE

LionsXII playmaker Shahdan Sulaiman is set to collect a five-figure windfall after a stellar season in the Malaysian Super League (MSL). The Singapore outfit will receive RM450,000 ($180,000) in prize money after finishing second in the league this season.

The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) confirmed with The New Paper that the entire sum will be split among the players for a season’s hard work.

According to sources, players will be rewarded according to their appearances and performances, and the FAS is in the process of allocating the prize money accordingly.

Midfield star Shahdan (above, No. 8) could be among the richest recipients as he has missed just 110 minutes of action this season, featuring in 23 out of 24 league games.
