High-Impact Move for Singapore Premier League Outfit Lion City Sailors as They Secure Key Local Talent from Tampines Rovers for Upcoming Singapore Premier League Campaign
SINGAPORE, 14 JULY 2026 - The Lion City Sailors have made a major statement of intent ahead of the new Singapore Premier League (SPL) season, announcing the signing of dynamic Singapore international Glenn Kweh. The 26-year-old winger joins the Sailors on a two-year deal, arriving from fellow SPL outfit Tampines Rovers.
This high-profile transfer underscores the Sailors' commitment to securing top local talent as they look to assert dominance on both the domestic and continental stages.
A Breakthrough Talent for the Sailors’ Frontline
Glenn Kweh arrives at the Bishan Stadium following a highly productive three-year stint with Tampines Rovers, where he established himself as one of the most exciting creative forces in the league. During his time with the Stags, Kweh registered an impressive tally of 16 goals and 22 assists, proving his ability to influence matches in the final third consistently.
The 2025/26 season marked a significant milestone in Kweh's career. Beyond his domestic impact, he showcased his quality on the international stage by scoring against South Korean giants Pohang Steelers in the AFC Champions League Two. He further solidified his reputation as a big-game player by netting a clinical brace for the Singapore national team against Thailand.
Versatility and Intensity
Known for his relentless work rate and tactical flexibility, Kweh is expected to provide Sailors Head Coach Jesús Casas with valuable options in the wide areas. Whether deployed on the left or right flank, Kweh’s ability to progress play and his tireless running makes him an ideal fit for the high-intensity style of play expected at the club.
"Glenn is a player who will bring intensity and positivity to the team," said Coach Casas. "His versatility, work rate and willingness to put in the yards for the team will be a real asset for us."
Aiming for Success
With 31 senior caps for Singapore since his 2022 debut and extensive experience in the AFC Champions League Two, Kweh brings a wealth of high-level experience to his new side.
For Kweh, the move represents the natural next step in his professional development. "I feel really proud to be joining the Sailors," Kweh remarked. "This is a club with big ambitions, and that perfectly aligns with my own aspirations to keep developing as a player. I’m hungry to keep improving. I want to contribute goals and assists, and help the Sailors achieve success on multiple fronts."
As the Sailors continue to refine their squad, the addition of Kweh signals a clear objective: to challenge for honors and maintain a high standard of performance in the seasons ahead.
