Club career

Lions City Sailors

[edit]

During the Sailors' 2022 AFC Champions League campaign in Buriram, Thailand, Tajeli and midfielder Anumanthan Kumar were expelled from the squad and sent back to Singapore for breaking the team's curfew.[1]

International career

[edit]

Tajeli was called up to the Singapore U22 at age 25 for the 2019 Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) in Manila as an overaged player.[2] He made his SEA Games debut in a 0-0 draw against Laos under-23. During the SEA Games, Tajeli and eight footballers broke curfew. He, along with the other eight players, was subsequently punished with a fine by the Singapore National Olympic Council.[1]

On 11 November 2021, Tajeli made his international debut for Singapore National Team in an International 'A' Friendly match against Kyrgyzstan.[3]
