After seven seasons with Madura United, Fachrudin Aryanto has decided to leave the club that has been his home for years. This decision marks the end of an era for Madura United, considering his crucial role as a reliable central defender and a leader on the field. Many Madura United fans are feeling the loss and are curious about the next step in Fachrudin’s career.
Since joining Madura United in 2017, Fachrudin has been a pillar in the defense. He is not only known for his robust defensive skills but also for his strong leadership on the field. Even in the middle of the 2019 season, Fachrudin was loaned to Persija Jakarta, demonstrating his versatility and reliability as a player.
However, Fachrudin’s journey with Madura United has now come to an end. Where will Fachrudin continue his career? Many speculations have arisen, with several major clubs like Persebaya Surabaya and Persis Solo reportedly interested in signing him. PSS Sleman is also mentioned as a strong candidate to secure the former Indonesian national team captain’s signature. Previously, Persebaya Surabaya was the club most heavily rumored to be interested in Fachrudin.
According to transfermarkt.co.id, Fachrudin Aryanto’s full name is Fachrudin Wahyudi Aryanto. Born in Klaten, Central Java, on February 19, 1989, he has a towering physique, standing at 185 cm, making him ideal for the central defender position.
Fachrudin’s football career began in 2007 with PSS Sleman. After five seasons there, he moved to Pelita Jaya in 2012, which later became Persipasi Bandung Raya. In 2014, Fachrudin joined Sriwijaya FC, where he played for three seasons. In 2017, he signed with Madura United, where he remained until now.
During his seven seasons at Madura United, Fachrudin not only contributed defensively but also became a symbol of stability and experience for the team. His leadership on the field was highly valued by his teammates and fans. However, despite a 15-year career in Indonesian football, he has yet to achieve major successes at either the club or national team level.
In addition to his club career, Fachrudin has been a mainstay for the Indonesian national team. He has represented Indonesia since 2012 and has consistently appeared in the AFF Championship from 2012 to 2022. Recently, Fachrudin suffered a knee injury after playing in the AFF Championship 2022. According to the medical team, he needs a month of recovery.
Fachrudin’s decision to leave Madura United opens a new chapter in his football career. Many hope he will soon find a new club that can give him the opportunity to achieve the success he has long desired. Wishing Fachrudin Aryanto a speedy recovery and hoping he can quickly return to making significant contributions at his new club and for the Indonesian national team. Wherever he goes, Indonesian football fans will continue to support him.
