Tampines Rovers After stints with
Sembawang Rangers and the
Singapore Armed Forces Football Club (SAFFC), Alam Shah joined Tampines Rovers in 2003. He helped the Stags win the S.League title in 2004 and 2005. Alam Shah's good form earned him trials with
Notts County in England and
Skonto Riga in Latvia. However neither trial led to a deal due to work permit issues and language problems respectively. In 2007, he scored a late goal against
Liaoning Guangyuan to become the first player to score 100 goals for the club. The tally came from 88 goals in the league and 12 goals in the domestic cup competitions. In the
2007 Singapore Cup final between Tampines Rovers and SAFFC, Noh Alam Shah was sent off in the final minutes of the games after an incident involving his fellow national teammate
Daniel Bennett. Alam Shah kneed Bennett in the head during a tussle for the ball and, after being dragged away by his teammates, he returned and kicked Bennett in the head. Bennett was knocked unconscious and had to be taken to hospital. Tampines lost the match 4–3. As a result of the incident, the
Football Association of Singapore (FAS) Disciplinary Committee, banned Alam Shah from playing in all FAS-sanctioned domestic matches and tournaments for 12 months and fined him
S$2,000.
PDRM Initially, it was thought that the ban would not prevent Alam Shah from playing at club-level outside Singapore, and he made arrangements to join
PDRM of the
Malaysia Super League for the
2007 season. However, in January 2008, the
Football Association of Malaysia confirmed that under
FIFA rules, member associations are required to respect domestic bans imposed by other associations, and therefore Alam Shah would not be eligible to play club-level football in Malaysia until his ban was completed. On 29 April 2008, Alam Shah appealed successfully to reduce his ban from 12 months to 7 months by the FAS's Disciplinary Committee. Although his was ban was almost halved, he still missed out the remaining three games of Singapore's
World Cup 2010 qualifying campaign. Alam Shah joined PDRM FA on loan upon completion of his ban in June 2008.
Return to Tampines Rovers Alam Shah returned to Singapore to play for Tampines Rovers on 29 August 2008 in a S.League match against
Gombak United. He scored his first goal after his ban, against
Balestier Khalsa, on 11 September 2008. He ended off his Tampines career with a hat-trick against the then
Sengkang Punggol, including a twenty five-yard screamer in the last minute of regulation time.
Arema Alam Shah joined
Arema in 2009, citing poor attendances at S.League matches that led to poor motivation, and FAS's requirement of passing the fitness test before being allowed to play in a match. One of the reasons given for leaving S.League was that he felt he was given unfair treatment by referees. On 11 May 2010, Alam Shah was sent off after an on-pitch incident with
Persela Lamongan's defender,
F.X. Yanuar Wahyu. In the 70th minute, Alam Shah grabbed Yanuar and tried to wrestle him. Yanuar then spun around and knocked Alam Shah down. Both players were sent off. While leaving the pitch, Alam Shah lunged at the Persela players and had to be restrained by teammates and stewards. Arema won the match 2–1 and Alam Shah was subsequently banned for one match. On 2 March 2011, Alam Shah scored a penalty for Arema against
Japanese giants,
Cerezo Osaka in a
2011 AFC Champions League group match, thus becoming the first Singaporean footballer to score in the competition for a non-Singapore club. On 15 June 2011, Alam Shah was offended by a remark from his head coach,
Miroslav Janů during a television interview before the match for Arema vs
Persisam Putra Samarinda. Alam Shah did not play in the match and after his team returned, he took a golf club and fought with Janů. Assistant coach, Tony Ho and the team players restrained both of them. Janů reasoned Alam Shah did not play in the last five games due to players from Singapore had never participated in the training, perhaps because Alam Shah had not received a salary. On 5 February 2012, due to a salary dispute, Arema announced that the club had accepted Alam Shah's resignation.
Persib Bandung After leaving Arema, Noh Alam Shah joined
Persib Bandung. He made 19 appearances and scored 4 goals during his tenure at the club.
3rd stint at Tampines Rovers On 28 June 2012, it was confirmed that Alam Shah will return to defending champions Tampines Rovers, signing a 6 months contract with the club. He scored 5 goals in 14 games. However, after the conclusion of the season he choose not to renew his contract with the club and decided to try his luck playing at Indonesia again.
PSS Sleman On 15 February 2013, in the morning it was confirmed that Alam Shah was training in
Maguwoharjo Stadium,
PSS Sleman home base. He will join ex teammate's that played with him in Arema such as,
Budi Sudarsono,
Waluyo,
Aji Saka,
Juan Revi, and
Wahyu Gunawan. Noh Alam Shah recently scored on his League debut with the
Indonesian Premier Division club, PSS Sleman on Sunday, 28 April 2013, the match ended 2–0 with Alam Shah scoring both goals in the 32nd and 79th minute. However, during the course of the season, he suffered multiple injuries while playing for the team and hence was released by the club in late-October 2014 ending the season with just 2 goals in 11 games.
4th stint at Tampines Rovers He went back to Tampines Rovers in 2014 and scored 9 league goals in 29 games for the team. On 10 August 2015, Alam Shah was accused by
Brunei DPMM FC head coach
Steve Kean of spitting on his face at the end of a tumultuous
Singapore Cup clash between
Tampines Rovers and the Bruneian side. The striker denied doing so. On 21 November 2015, Alam Shah was sent off after an on-pitch incident with Harimau Muda goalkeeper, Ilham Amirullah at the last minute. It was the final match for the
2015 S.League season. After receiving a red card, he tried to attack one of the Harimau Muda defenders but was quickly held on by his teammates. After his career in Tampines Rovers, Noh Alam Shah decided to retire after the 2015 season of S League. ==International career==
