Ang Zhiwei is a Singaporean footballer who plays in the S.League for Warriors FC.[1] He started his career as an attacking midfielder but now plays as a defender.
Club career
[edit | edit source]He started to focus on football after rejection from his school's basketball team due to his height.[2]
Ang started off as a player in the Prime League until he came to prominence in the 2009 S.League season. At that time, he took a part of the Geylang United squad which overcame reigning Singapore Cup champions, Bangkok Glass, to capture the Singapore Cup. His performance also led to being selected for the Singapore Under-21 National Team.[3]
As he was conscripted for National Service in 2010, his professional footballing career came to a standstill. Ang turned out for NFL Division One side, Singapore Armed Forces Sports Association (SAFSA) during his two years as a national serviceman and was the captain of the SAFSA side.
Geylang United
[edit | edit source]Upon the completion of his national service, Ang returned to Geylang United for the 2012 S.League season, where he played his first full season with the Eagles.
Woodlands Wellington
[edit | edit source]On 1 January 2013, it was announced that he had joined Woodlands Wellington along with Shahril Alias after spending one season at Bedok Stadium, joining up with former Geylang United captain and goalkeeper, Yazid Yasin.[4]
He made his debut for Woodlands Wellington on 21 February 2013 in a 2–2 draw against Warriors F.C.[5]
Tampines Rovers
[edit | edit source]On 21 December 2013, Tampines Rovers announced the signing of Ang for the 2014 season.[6]
Home United
[edit | edit source]Following a disappointing 2014 season, Home United signed Ang along with three other of his Tampines Rovers teammates.[7]
International career
[edit | edit source]Ang was selected for the Singapore Under-21 National Team in 2008.
While taking part in the annual Vietnam Youth Newspaper Cup competition in 2009, Ang scored his first international goal against Thailand Under-21 in a 3–1 victory on 11 October 2009.[8]
