Afi attended Brunei Sports School, the institution that also produced Brunei international footballers such as Azwan Ali Rahman and Hazwan Hamzah.[2] He was drafted into professional club DPMM FC playing in the Singapore league in 2010, but due to the ban imposed by FIFA on Brunei he was sent on loan to Indera SC along with five other players.[3]

Afi signed full terms with Indera not long after and has won two league championships with his current team to date.[4]

Afi played all six games in Brunei U21's maiden Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy victory in 2012.[5] He also turned out for the under-23s at the 2013 SEA Games.[6]

Afi made his international debut for Brunei on 26 September 2012 in a 0–5 loss against Indonesia.[7] He was ever-present in the 2012 AFF Suzuki Cup qualification but did not play at all for the 2014 edition. He was called up for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chinese Taipei in March 2015, but did not take the field.[8]
