Club career
Early career
Nik Shahrul began his football career with Kelantan playing for President's Cup team in 2010. He was the captain of the team and managed to bring his team won the 2010 Presidents Cup.
Kelantan
In 2012, while Nik Shahrul was playing with Kelantan President’s Cup, Bojan Hodak was spotted his talent to be included in the senior team. His performances have been improving consistently and he has certainly earned his stripes to be part of the Kelantan senior team first XI. Kelantan claim treble winners with Malaysia Cup win against ATM during 2012 season. Even though he was young, he was given the responsibility to take care the defence with Obinna Nwaneri in the 2012 Malaysia Super League season.[2] He was lifted as a hero after denying Indra Putra Mahayuddin attempt for a goal at the last minute that could have made Kelantan lost 3–4 on the first leg of Malaysia FA Cup semi final at Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium. After the match he said "I would rather be injured than let my team concede another goal.”to Astro Arena.[3] On 3 August 2016, he had to rest for at least 2 months after he had an injury during the match against Felda United when he clashed with Syamim Yahya at the end of the first half and was replaced with Noor Hazrul Mustafa.[4]
