Goh Swee Swee (simplified Chinese: 吴瑞瑞; traditional Chinese: 吳瑞瑞; pinyin: Wú Ruì Ruì; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Ngôo Suī-suī; born 1 June 1986) is a Singaporean footballer who plays as a forward for Hougang United in the S-League.

Club career

Goh started his S-league career with Gombak United but only played 1 game for the Bulls before joining Home United in 2007. At that time, the Protectors offered him a S.League contract while he was still on a Prime League contract with Gombak. He immediately repaid the favour to the Protectors by scoring a 90th-minute winner against Liaoning Guangyuan in his debut on 16 March 2007.[1]

However, Goh found it hard to start upfront with Home United having the likes of Peres de Oliveira, Indra Sahdan and Ludovick Takam in their ranks. As a result, he was often deployed as a rightback or right midfielder.

Goh was then transferred to the Courts Young Lions in 2008 and he played mostly as a midfielder for the Young Lions in the S.League.

Following his stint with the Young Lions, Goh had a brief spell at Balestier Khalsa in 2010 before switching over to his current club, Woodlands Wellington with fellow tiger, midfielder Han Yiguang in the 2011 pre-season. Goh is the second top scorer for Woodlands for the past 2 seasons, netting 5 goals after 31 appearances in 2011 and 4 goals in 23 appearances in 2012.

Goh achieved a personal milestone when he led Woodlands Wellington out during their match against Home United at Bishan Stadium as the team captain in the first time in his career on 5 March 2013.[2]

Goh signed for 2016 Singapore National Football League champions Eunos Crescent for the 2017 NFL season.
