Ryan Fante (born 24 February 1986) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays for Mongolian Premier League club Deren FC.

Career

Singapore

Spending his early career in Canada where he played in the Ontario Soccer League, and Canadian Soccer League,[2][3] Fante sealed a move to Singaporean outfit Sengkang Punggol in 2010.[2] The Canadian then recorded his first start in a 1–0 defeat to Albirex Niigata S[4] and registered his first goal in a 1–1 tie with Beijing Guoan Singapore.[5] Deployed as a winger or second striker, Fante often outdistanced opponents but failed to score on numerous occasions.[6] Because of this, the forward was demoted to Sengkang Punggol's Prime League squad but there too he was unable to score goals in abundance.[6] By mid-season 2010, the club decided to release Fante due to his goalscoring ineptitude.[6]

Australia and Mongolia

Around a year after his release from Sengkang Punggol, Fante transferred to Australian semi-pro club Valentine Phoenix FC with Canadians Adrian Butters and Shondell Busby.[1] In spite of saying that the standard was not as high as in Singapore,[1] he stayed there for a few months before going to Mongolia to play for Khoromkhon FC in June 2012.[7]
