Ryan Fante (born 24 February 1986) is a Canadian former professional soccer player who played as a forward.
Fante played his youth soccer with Sporting de Toronto, a club affiliated with Sporting Lisbon.[3] He would go to Portugal for a trial run with Sporting's youth team.[3] In 2006, he played in Ontario's top amateur circuit with Hearts Azzurri and finished as the division's top goal scorer.[2] The following year he joined Toronto FC's reserve squad that competed in the MLS Reserve League.[4] He would appear in 3 matches in the reserve division.[5] After his brief stint with Toronto's reserve side, he played the remainder of the season in the interprovincial Canadian Soccer League with the North York Astros.[6]
Fante returned to the CSL circuit in 2008 to sign with league rivals Vaughan Italia Shooters.[7] He would help Vaughan secure the divisional title along with a playoff berth.[8] The Shooters would defeat the Brampton Lions in the opening round of the postseason.[9] Their playoff journey would conclude in the next round after a defeat by the Serbian White Eagles.[10] In 2009, he returned to the amateur provincial league to play with local side G.S. United.[11]
Fante sealed a move to Singaporean outfit Sengkang Punggol in 2010.[12][13] The Canadian then recorded his first start in a 1–0 defeat to Albirex Niigata S[14] and registered his first goal in a 1–1 tie with Beijing Guoan Singapore.[15] His time with Sengkang was mostly limited on the bench and with the reserve team in the Prime League.[16] By mid-season 2010, the club decided to release Fante due to the lack of goals scored.[16] In total, he played in 7 league matches and recorded 1 goal.[17]
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][18]
Upon leaving Australia, he ventured to East Asia to play in the Mongolian Premier League with Khoromkhon in June 2012.[19] In his debut season in Mongolia, he helped the club finish as runners-up in the standings and won the Borgio Cup.[20] He returned to Khoromkhon for the 2014 season and helped the club secure the championship by defeating Erchim which also secured a berth in the 2015 AFC Cup.[21]
In 2016, he was transferred to the country's capital Ulaanbaataryn Unaganuud.[22][23] The following season he was traded to league rivals Deren FC.[24] His final season in the Mongolian circuit was in 2019 when he re-signed with Deren.[25]
