Lionel Tan (陈汉玮, born 5 June 1997) is a Singaporean professional footballer who currently plays as a Defender for Hougang United FC in the S.League, Singapore's top tier of competitive football. He was with the National Football Academy (Singapore) after graduating from Singapore Sports School. In 2016, he started his career with Home United FC Prime League. Subsequently, in 2017, he moved to Hougang United FC S.League.

His performance at the youth level led to him being nominated for the 2014 Dollah Kassim Award although he did not win it in the end.[1][2]

Club career

NFA U18

Tan started his career with National Football Academy (NFA) u-18 team in 2015 after his graduation from the Singapore Sports School.[3] He had hoped to move on to the Garena Young Lions squad following his exploits with the NFA. However, when no such move arose, Tan jumped at the chance to be reunited with Robin Chitrakar at Home United's Prime League squad.[4]

Home United

Tan moved to the Protectors in 2016 and was made the vice captain of the prime league squad.

During his time with the Protectors' Prime League squad, he helped them achieve a double, winning the Prime League and the Singapore FA Cup.[1]

He then made his senior debut on 14 July 2016 against Albirex Niigata Singapore in the Singapore League Cup.[1] He made a total of two senior appearances for the protectors before moving on the next season.[4]

Hougang United

Tan then moved to Hougang United for the 2017 S.League season.[1] He made his debut for the Cheetahs against Tampines Rovers, coming on as a substitute in the 61st minute before earning a shock first start in the following match against Brunei DPMM in a 2–0 defeat.[4]


Young Lions

After spending one year with SAFSA, he moved to Garena Young Lions for the 2019 season.
