Career

edit

After the season ended, he was transferred to Geylang International along with his teammate Takuma Ito. His primary position is a centre back.[2] After the end of the 2013 season, he went on to sign for Tampines Rovers. However, he was deemed as surplus to requirements to the Stags, hence was transferred to Albirex Niigata Singapore once again in the mid-season transfer window of 2014.[3]

Norihiro made his second debut for the White Swans in a 7-1 home victory against Woodlands Wellington on 11 June 2014, where he scored from a header in the 17th minute.
