Victor was raised in Bedong, a small town in Kedah and located 12 km to the north of Sungai Petani, to Andrag Narimuthu and Anamah Joseph. He was a 400 metres track athlete during his school years at the Sultan Abdul Hamid College, Alor Star. He started his football career with Kedah Ansell FC, a club based in Kulim.

Club career

One of the longest-serving players and highly experienced of the team starting from 2002, Victor was given the captain's armband after the departure of Akmal Rizal Ahmad Rakhli and Mohd Fauzi Nan. He was at the heart of the Kedah defence under Mohd Azraai Khor Abdullah though previous coach Jørgen Erik Larsen preferred to use him as a full-back. Victor's height and strength makes him a towering figure at the centre of the Kedah defence. He was a part of the squad that won historical double treble titles.[2][3]

After retiring from playing professionally, Victor worked as assistant coach at Penang FA in 2012, assisting head coach János Krecska.[4] After Penang, he returned to Kedah FA as a youth coach.[5] In 2019, Victor was appointed assistant coach to Aidil Sharin Sahak at Kedah FA. On 17 October 2022, after Aidil Sharin left his role as head coach, Victor was named interim coach before his position takeover by former Terengganu FC coach Nafuzi Zain in early December 2022 as head coach Kedah.[6]
