Career

Wilmington Hammerheads

Angus was invited to the 2009 MLS Player Combine in Florida for the 2009 MLS SuperDraft.[2] Due to a strong college career, numerous pundits and journalists predicted him to go reasonably high in the draft, so it was a surprise when he went undrafted. Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls offered him a trial, but he declined. However, soon after he signed with USL-2 side Wilmington Hammerheads FC, a team in the 3rd tier of American league soccer.

GAIS

In June 2009 he went on a trial with Swedish side GAIS and on 8 July the club confirmed signing of Angus.[3] Angus made his debut for GAIS against Halmstad BK on 12 July 2009. He came off the bench in the 81st minute and scored the equalizer for GAIS in the 90th minute of the match.[4][5] Angus spent time training with West Ham United at the end of the 2011 Allsvenskan season.[6] GAIS finished in last place and were relegated from the 2012 Allsvenskan. After their relegation the club announced that four of the players who were under contract would be allowed to leave for free, Angus being one of them.[7] As he was unable to find a new club during the winter transfer window he remained at GAIS for the first half of the 2013 Superettan season before eventually leaving at the end of July.[8]

Pune

On 7 August 2013 it was announced that Angus had signed for Pune F.C. of the I-League.[9] He made his debut for the club on 21 September 2013 in the league against Mohammedan S.C. at the Salt Lake Stadium.[10] Then, on 19 October 2013, he scored his first goal for the club against Churchill Brothers in which he found the net in the 52nd minute to give Pune a 1–0 victory.[11] He then scored his second goal of the season in the very next match against Rangdajied United F.C. in which his 29th-minute goal led Pune to another 1–0 victory.[12]

Dempo

Last season, Angus signed for another Indian club Dempo SC.[13]

East Bengal

He played all the matches in Calcutta Football League where East Bengal won the trophy And also Played In The 2016 Bordoloi Trophy Where He won Best Player of the tournament award.
