Strang began his junior football career playing with Fremantle Ex-Scholars Football Club and Yarloop Football Club.
Football career
Although his father Archie had played 241 games for East Fremantle Football Club and was a life member, Strang made his seniors debut in 1936 with South Fremantle Football Club due to living in their recruiting district.[1] While Strang was spoken of as one of Western Australia's foremost juniors he only managed 5 games over two seasons due to injuries.[2]
In 1938 an exchange of players allowed Strang to play for East Fremantle Football Club.[3] In five seasons for East Fremantle Strang played 64 games[4] and kicked 30 goals.[5]
His footballing career was interrupted by the Second World War where between 1942 and 1945 Strang served in the Royal Australian Air Force as a Fight Sergeant.[6]
He returned to play for East Fremantle in the 1945 WAFL premiership[7] before playing one game for South Fremantle in 1946 and retiring from football.
