Club career
Kedah
On 23 December 2019, Zulkhairi Zulkeply agreed to join Malaysia Super League side Kedah.[2] He made his debut for the club in 2020 AFC Champions League qualifying play-offs playing against FC Seoul on 28 January 2020.[3]
Negeri Sembilan
In 2021 he joined the team Negeri Sembilan FC on a free transfer. He has been with the team for two years and has become an important player throughout 2022. He has helped the team secure fourth place in the Malaysia Super League in 2022. It is an impressive achievement as the team has just been promoted from the Malaysia Premier League in the previous year and had shocked the other Malaysia Super League teams as Negeri Sembilan FC was considered an underdog team.
