Double Champions Tampines Rovers finally received a boast as they make their first signing for the 2005 season.

Before this, the champion had already lost 2 key players - Thai national defender Choketawee Promrut who departed for Vietnamese champion Hoang Anh Gia Lai & striker Ismail Fitrey due to medical reasons.

Therefore the Stags needed reinforcement & they got it in the fiorm of Tigers 26-year-old midfielder Ibrahim Noh.

A product of Stallions, Ibrahim played for SAFFC during his National Service.
