Brendan Gan Seng Ling (Шаблон:Zh; born 3 June 1988) is a professional footballer who plays as a central-midfielder or attacking-midfielder for the A-League Men club Western United, and the Malaysia national team. Born in Australia, he plays for the Malaysia national team.

Club career

Brendan began playing football for his local club, the Marton Hammers before signing for the Sutherland Sharks in 2000 when he was twelve years old, progressing through their youth grades to make his senior debut for the club in 2008. He made 15 league appearances scoring 6 goals, and 3 appearances in the Finals Series.[1] It was this debut season that shot Gan to prominence within the local media which brought with it a growing reputation to match.[2] He did not disappoint with dazzling performances week in week out which eventually led him to being crowned the New South Wales Premier League player of the year, winning the Gold Medal award for the competition.[3]

Sydney FC

He was signed by Sydney FC for their inaugural National Youth League squad ahead of competition from rival A-League clubs.[4][5]

On 28 November 2008, Gan made his debut for Sydney FC against Queensland Roar with a 5-minute cameo where he turned heads. [6][7]

On 7 December, he scored the winning goal in the 78th minute for Sydney FC against the Newcastle Jets to give them their first win in 7 games.[8]

Gan was given his full senior debut on 13 December against Central Coast Mariners.[9] He scored his second senior goal against Melbourne Victory with a long range strike from outside the penalty area.[10]

Gan scored his third senior goal against Wellington Phoenix with a powerful header from a corner. This goal gave Sydney FC a 2–0 win over Wellington and placed them on the top of the table, leapfrogging Gold Coast United.

On 2 December 2010, in only his second start for the season, he scored the opening goal in a 3–1 win, once again against Wellington Phoenix.

He was released from Sydney, along with several other players at the end of Sydney's 2011 Asian Champions League campaign.[11]

In November 2013, Brendan returned to Malaysia and signed a three-year contract with Kelantan. He was supposed to be registered as a local player for Kelantan but did not get the approval from FAM because according to FAM any player to be registered as a local player is required to have Malaysian identity card or passport. On 6 April, he officially obtained an identity card and was registered by Kelantan as a local player on April transfer window.[16][17][18][19]

He made his debut during the match between Kelantan against Terengganu which ended 1–1.
