Zainal started off his career at Admiralty as a promising young fullback in 1992

and was caught in the middle of a transfer controversy when the
Football Association of Singapore
banned him for eight months after discovering that he had registered himself with Admiralty and South Avenue, a club which plays in the First Division as well.

The ban was later reduced to three months
[4]
to allow him to be involved competitively after his recent seven-week training stint with
FC Nitra
in Slovakia.
