Stevland Angus (born September 16, 1980), is an English professional footballer.
[edit] Club career
Angus was born in Essex in 1980 and began his career as a trainee with West Ham United, featuring in their 1999 FA Youth Cup win, and turning professional in August 1999.[1] In need of first team experience, Angus joined Bournemouth on loan in August 2000, making his league debut on August 12, 2000 in a 1-1 draw away to Bristol Rovers.[2][1] He returned to West Ham after two months having made nine appearances for Bournemouth, but failed to break into the first team and was released at the end of the 2000-01 season.[3]
In July 2001, Angus joined Cambridge United on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract.[3] Manager, John Beck, said, "He's got good pace and is a good athlete. He reads the game well and I'm looking for him to go straight into the side."[3] He spent four years with Cambridge, playing 135 league games, scoring once, but towards the end of his time there fell out of favour with then manager Hervé Renard.[4] He had loans spells with Hull City and Scunthorpe United in the 2004-05 season,[5][6] before leaving Cambridge in the summer of 2005.[7]
Angus joined Conference side Grays Athletic in September 2005, where he made 13 league and cup appearances.[8] He joined Barnet on loan in January 2006, remaining there until the end of the season but not making any appearances due to injury.[9][10] He signed a one-year contract with Torquay United for the 2006-7 season.[10] He was a regular in the side, making 38 league and cup appearances,[1] but was released at the end of the 2006-07 season after Torquay were relegated to the Conference. He joined Grimsby Town on trial in July 2007 but was not offered a contract and joined Barnet in August 2007.[11][12] He made his debut in a 2-1 loss at Brentford, was sent off and was released by the club a week later.[12][13][1] He joined Conference South side Fisher Athletic in October 2007.[14]
