Club career
Wardun has been playing for DPMM since 2006, having returned from Wijaya FC after a brief spell in 2004.[2] Previously, he was a squad member of the Brunei team that participated in the M-League.[3]
Wardun was sent on loan to Majra FC in 2010 as Brunei (and in extension DPMM) served a two-year FIFA ban.[4] He became the team captain in that period and even converted a penalty in the semi-final of the 2011 Brunei League Cup.[5] He went on to win the final.[6]
Returning to the S.League with his parent club in 2012, Wardun became the undisputed number one ever since. He did not miss a game in the 2015 season when DPMM finally clinched the S.League title after coming close twice.[7]
On 2 April 2017, Wardun dropped to the bench and missed his first league game in three years, allowing longtime rival Alizanda Sitom to be the oldest player to start in the S.League.[8] The reason was due to an ankle injury.[9] Another injury to his thumb in May further blighted his season, and in the end he managed only 8 starts in DPMM's disastrous 2017 campaign.[10]
Despite a pre-season injury to last season's starter Mu'izzuddin Ismail in 2018, Wardun was kept away from the starting lineup by the signing of youth international keeper Haimie Anak Nyaring. He finally made his bow for the season on 3 June against Albirex Niigata (S) after Haimie was red-carded in the 74th minute.[11]
International career
Wardun made his first start for Brunei at the 2002 World Cup qualifying round for Asia, in a 0-5 loss against Yemen on 7 April 2001. He appeared a total of four times in the campaign. He was in goal for the 2004 AFC Asian Cup qualification matches held in the Maldives.
After a huge gap without any international appearances, Wardun played in the 2008 Suzuki Cup qualifying when the whole Brunei team was represented by his club, DPMM FC.[12]
Wardun was the keeper when Brunei gained their first World Cup qualifying victory over Chinese Taipei in Kaohsiung on 12 March 2015.[13] A year later, he was also in the starting lineup for the 2016 AFF Suzuki Cup qualification matches in Cambodia. Wardun conceded eight goals in three games as Brunei finished third in the qualifying group.[14]
Wardun's next international tournament was a month later at the 2016 AFC Solidarity Cup held in Kuching, Malaysia.[15] In the semi-final against Macau on 12 November, Wardun was sent off in the 55th minute for denying Niki Torrão a goal-scoring opportunity at the edge of the penalty box.[16] Brunei went out 4-3 on penalties thereafter, with Tarmizi Mat Johari between the goalposts.
Wardun was included in the national team's 23-man squad for the 2018 AFF Suzuki Cup qualification matches against Timor-Leste in September 2018.[17]
