Anders Eric Aplin is a Singapore international footballer who plays as a defender for J2 League club Matsumoto Yamaga FC.
He is the cousin of former Singapore international footballer Tan Kim Leng.[1] Aplin is also a graduate of Nanyang Technological University, with a degree in business. He was also a commando in the Singapore Armed Forces during his National Service.[1]
Anders was part of the Singapore Sports School's inaugural cohort of footballers and moved on to the National Football Academy under-18s.[2] In 2009, he was part of the Victoria Junior College football team which won the National Schools A Division title.[3][4]
Although Anders was part of the Singapore Sports School's inaugural cohort of footballers, playing alongside future Lions such as Safuwan Baharudin and Madhu Mohana, his decision to focus on his studies saw him fall through the cracks of Singapore's professional football circuit. As a result, Anders played for Singapore Cricket Club in the amateur National Football League.[1]
Anders next played for Singapore Recreation Club , where he was spotted by Geylang coach Noor Ali, who was then helming Yishun Sentek Mariners. He was invited for trials with Geylang at the end of 2015 who was drawn to Anders' aggression and determination.[5]
Anders started his professional football career with Geylang International in 2016 and made his debut in a League Cup game against Balestier Khalsa.[6] He signed his first professional contract a year later. His performances in the 2017 S.League season saw him win his first call up to Singapore national team. He was also picked for a trial with J2 League side Matsumoto Yamaga FC in early 2018.[5]
On 7 August 2018, it was announced on the club's website that Anders had signed a loan deal with Matsumoto Yamaga until the end of the season. This loan made Anders the first Singaporean to play in the J2 League and in Japan.[7][8]
Anders was first called up by coach V. Sundramoorthy in 2017 although he did not travel with the team for the friendly against Qatar and the Asian Cup qualifier against Turkmenistan on October 10.[9] He made his debut on 23 March 2018 in a 3-2 win against Maldives, replacing Irfan Fandi in the 73rd minute.[10]
