Club career[edit]

Stallion Laguna[edit]

In 2018, Sy went to the Philippines to trial for PFL club Stallion Laguna, where he made the cut for the first-team.[3][4] He stayed with the club for 5 years until departing in 2023,[5][6] leading the club to two third-place finishes in the Copa Paulino Alcantara and an AFC Cup spot in the PFL.[7][8]

Kaya–Iloilo[edit]

Sy signed with 2022–23 PFL champions Kaya–Iloilo in the offseason as a foreign reinforcement for the club's 2023–24 AFC Champions League campaign.[9][10][11] In the 2023 edition of the Copa Paulino Alcantara, he won the golden boot by scoring 10 goals in 10 matches[12][13] and was in the starting XI that won the title.[14]
