Old wolf, hungry for a fresh start
At 33 years old, Anawin is still hungry for new challenges. There were talks between Anawin and one of the top-5 Thai League sides, but a deal couldn’t be done, with rumors pointing to game time as the main issue.
The folding of PTT Rayong, which left many players stranded, must’ve left a bad taste in him thus a change of environment – a new challenge – seems like a great idea compared to playing as sub with another T1 club or dropping down to T2.
Thai international at youth and senior level
Anawin may not have the best of luck with the national team but he was still a key member during his time representing the War Elephant. The dazzling winger was one of the first names on the team sheet in the 2009 SEA Games squad which included future superstars such as Kawin Thamsatchanan, Theerathon Bunmathan and (an injured) Teerasil Dangda – led by Steve Darby with Kiatisuk Senamuang as assistant head coach.
The tournament in Laos was a catastrophe, as Thailand were knocked out from the group stage for the first time in 36 years thus ending Anawin’s, and quite a few talented players, national team hopes. Nonetheless, Anawin did make his senior debut in 2014, starting in the Asian Cup Qualifier defeat to Lebanon in Kiatisuk’s second game in charge of the senior squad.
So that’s it; four reasons why the Malaysian Super League should be excited about Anawin Jujeen. This is not a washed-up player looking for his last paycheck but a Thai League veteran with international experience who is eager to keep that flame inside burning.
