PETALING JAYA: It’s only natural for veteran centreback Khairul Helmi Johari to “go green” after being released by Kedah. No, this has nothing to do with vegetarian diets.

The 32-year-old Khairul has become synonymus with the green and yellow jersey of the Red Eagles after serving them for 15 years. And he gets to stick with that familiar colour after signing for Melaka, another side with an environmentally-friendly jersey.
