Ignatius Ang Yu Heng (born 11 November 1992) is a Singaporean footballer who plays as a midfielder for Balestier Khalsa in the S.League.

Youth career

Before Ang started playing in the S.League, he played for the National Youth Academy, having represented the Under-16 and the Under-18 sides. Ang also played for the H-TWO-O/ITE Dream Team.[3][4]

Career

Hougang United

He made his way to Hougang after being released in 2011 by the Young Lions.

LionsXII

He was drafted by Fandi to the LionsXII team in 2014.[5] However, Ang failed to stake a claim in the team despite being named regularly on the bench.[6]

Balestier Khalsa

After he was released by the FAS, he moved to Balestier and enjoyed more playing time after earning the trust of coach Mirko Kraljevic. His performances for the Tigers saw him earn a Young Player of the Year nomination.[7]

Warriors FC

Following good performances with the Tigers, he choose to move to the Warriors FC.[8] However, this proved to be a wrong move as Ang failed to get regular game time.
