Career

Singapore

Spending his early career in Canada where he played in the Ontario Soccer League, and Canadian Soccer League,[2][4] 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[5] and registered his first goal in a 1-1 tie with Beijing Guoan Singapore.[6] Deployed as a winger or second striker, Fante often outdistanced opponents but failed to score on numerous occasions.[7] 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.[7] By mid-season 2010, the club decided to release Fante due to his goalscoring ineptitude.[7]

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.[8]
