Club career

Tampines Rovers
Following his release by Tampines Rovers at the conclusion of the 2015 S.League season, Ridhuan announced his retirement from football to forge a new career in the oil and gas industry following his failure to secure a contract.[3]
Warriors FC
However, the speedy winger was snapped up by Warriors FC just before the start of the 2016 S.League season and made his debut as a substitute in a 3–1 loss against Brunei DPMM.[4] He scored his first goal of the season in a 2–2 draw against Geylang International to rescue a point for the Warriors after coming on as a substitute.[5] He repaid the faith that the Warriors had shown him by accumulating a total of four goals and six assists in all competitions.[6] His performances for the Warriors was rewarded with a contract extension for the 2017 S.League season.[2]
