Before moved to Pahang FA, he was the primary goalkeeper for Terengganu FA. His biggest achievement with Terengganu was being a runner up in the 2004 Malaysia FA Cup. Terengganu lost 3-0 after conceding three goals in extra time against Perak FA. For 2009 season, Syamsuri returned to Terengganu but this time with PBDKT T-Team FC.[1]
He was part of the Malaysia national team and Malaysia League XI that faced Brazil and Manchester United in 2002.[2] He also represented Malaysia in the 2001 and 2003 SEA Games, the 2002 Tiger Cup, the 2004 Tiger Cup, and the 2007 ASEAN Football Championship. During 2003 SEA Games in Hanoi, Syamsuri became the first Malaysian goalkeeper to score a goal in an international match.[3] He scored the long range goal with a drop kick from his own penalty area in Malaysia's 3-4 defeat against the host country, Vietnam.
In 2007, Syamsuri did not take part in Malaysia's disastrous 2007 AFC Asian Cup performance. This is due to a ban from participating any football match because of his discipline problems. He has not been called up for the national squad since his last appearance against Sri Lanka on 26 March 2007.
In his return with the national team, he play 68 minutes and conceded three goals against UAE.
