Moksen bin Mohammad is a Bruneian former international footballer and current coach. He previously played for the Brunei national representative team in the M-League as a forward.

Playing and coaching career

Moksen represented Brunei in the Malaysian league from 1992 until 1999, he played sparingly for the Wasps as he was often overlooked for Rosanan Samak, Suni Mat Jerah, Said Abdullah as well as the prolific import duo of Brian Bothwell and Raphael Patron Akakpo. Moksen retired from the team after winning the 1999 Malaysia Cup, one of seven players to do so.
