The six-cap Brunei international is one of the heirs to Hassanal Bolkiah's £13billion fortune.

Bolkiah, who spent time in the academies of Southampton, Chelsea and Leicester, moved to Madeira outfit Maritimo last year.

But he was released by the Portuguese side earlier this month without making a single first team appearance.

However Bolkiah has wasted no time in getting back into football after agreeing a deal to link up with Chonburi.

The Sharks currently sit third in Thailand's top tier - just four points behind leaders Buriram United.
