Murun Altankhuyag (

Mongolian Premier League as a striker.[3]

Club career

Born in

Hannibal-LaGrange University Trojans and the Central Methodist Eagles, both of the NAIA.[6] In his one season at Hannibal-LaGrange, he tallied 1 goal and 2 assists in 11 matches.[7] He scored his goal against the Truman Bulldogs on 3 November 2009.[8] During his three seasons at CMU, he made 37 appearances and tallied 18 goals and 6 assists.[9] He initially received an invitation to Hannibal-LaGrange after vying for a scholarship against 120 other candidates from Europe and Latin America.[10]

He signed a two-year contract with

Lao Premier League.[18] He was offered a professional contract by Lao Toyota but opted to join Krabi because of a preference to play in Thailand over Laos.[9]

He signed for

visa and insurance issues.[23]

In January 2016, Murun returned to Mongolia and re-signed for

Selenge Press FC after Mačva Šabac were relegated to the Serbian League. His contract was terminated because Serbian rules did not allow non-Serbian nationals to be on the roster of teams in the third division or lower.[24] The player stated his return to the club was temporary while he searched for another professional club abroad. On 22 May 2016, he scored a goal in his first match back with the club, a 2–1 victory over FC Ulaanbaatar.[25]

In May 2016, Murun joined fellow Mongolian Premier League club Ulaanbaatar City.[3]

International career

Murun represented Mongolia at the youth level, including matches against South Korea and North Korea for the U15 side.[10] He made his senior international debut for Mongolia on 21 November 2007 in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against North Korea.[1][26] At age 16, he was the youngest player ever called up to the senior squad at the time of his debut.[27]
