Yura is a graduate of local grassroots football development scheme Projek Ikan Pusu (PIP) that has won many youth tournaments since its creation in 2001.[3][4] He had a stint in the Bruneian leagues in 2012, lacing up for BIBD SRC in the Brunei National Football League, the precursor to the first season of the Brunei Super League.[5]
Yura joined Majra FC for the 2014 season.[6] His Majra career ended just 9 matches into the season after his club abruptly pulled out of the ongoing league.[7]
Yura scored his first goal for DPMM on 5 August 2016 at home against Albirex Niigata (S), a last-minute winner against the expatriate Japanese side.[10]
After three fruitful seasons under Kean, new Brazilian coach Renê Weber preferred to play a returning Abdul Aziz Tamit instead, restricting Yura to just eight appearances in the 2018 season. Nevertheless, under Adrian Pennock the following year, Yura managed to regain his starting place alongside Charlie Clough and Nur Ikhwan Othman in a back three formation. DPMM would then record the joint best defensive record of the league, emerging as champions by the time the league ended in September.[11]
DPMM played domestically from 2020 to 2022 due to restrictions imposed by Brunei as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[12] They competed in the 2022 Brunei FA Cup where Yura gained his first Brunei FA Cup winner's medal after winning the final 2–1 against Kasuka FC on 4 December.[13]
DPMM returned to the Singapore Premier League starting from the 2023 season. In the match against Balestier Khalsa on 10 March, he was sent off for violent conduct in the 55th minute, making Balestier rally from two goals down to win 3–4. On the 31st of the same month, he scored a volley from outside the box against Hougang United in a 0–3 win.
Yura was called back to the under-21 side for the 2018 Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy held in April and May, as an overage player as he was a few months over the age limit. Playing in central defence for the tournament, he scored a last-minute winner against Thailand in the second match.[16]
Yura was one of 13 DPMM FC players to link up with the Brunei national team in early September 2018 for the AFF Suzuki Cup qualification matches of that year, against Timor-Leste.[22] He was deployed by Kwon Oh-son in central midfield in the first leg which finished 3–1 to Timor-Leste.[23] A reshuffling of tactics in the second leg saw Yura put on a commanding display at centre-back and resulted in a 1–0 shutout in favour of Brunei.[24] Nevertheless, Brunei failed to advance to the Suzuki Cup group stage with a 2–3 aggregate loss.
Yura accepted a callup to the national team to face Mongolia home and away at the 2022 World Cup qualification held in June 2019.[25] He was played in central midfield since several of his teammates pulled out of the Brunei selection.[26] Brunei lost the first leg 2–0 away from Bandar Seri Begawan and managed to win 2–1 for the return leg, but nevertheless another repeat aggregate defeat sent the Wasps out of both the 2022 World Cup and the 2023 Asian Cup.[27]
In September 2022, Yura returned to the national team and started both fixtures in a friendly tournament with the Maldives and Laos, recording one win and one loss for the Wasps.[28] Later in December of that year, he was selected for the 2022 AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup to be held in the participants' respective countries, although Brunei had to play their home games in Kuala Lumpur due to renovation works at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium.[29] In the first group game against Thailand, Yura scored an own goal in the 88th minute of normal time, which finished 0–5.[30] He made three further appearances for the Wasps against the Philippines, Indonesia and Cambodia, all ending in heavy defeats.
In September 2023, Yura played in a friendly match away against Hong Kong that finished in a shock 10–0 loss.[31] The following month, he was the starting defender for the Wasps at the two-legged 2026 World Cup qualification matches against Indonesia.[32] Both matches ended 0–6 to the Garuda.[33]
After becoming the starting central defender in four friendly matches for Brunei in 2024, Yura appeared in the same number of matches for the Wasps against Macau as well as Timor-Leste at the play-offs for the third round of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup and 2024 ASEAN Championship qualification respectively.[34][35] Although managing to win against Macau 4–0 on aggregate and thus creating a remarkable five game unbeaten streak,[36] Brunei lost the Timor-Leste tie 0–1 on aggregate.[37] Yura closed the year playing the full 90 minutes in a defeat against Russia, conceding 11 unanswered goals.[38]
