Daniel Sang Ting (born 1 December 1992) is a Malaysian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Thai League 1 club Ratchaburi on loan from Malaysia Super League club Johor Darul Ta'zim. Born in England, he plays for the Malaysia national team.[2][3] Ting paused his career for two years to move to Australia from 2019 until 2020.

Club career

Youth

Ting started his football career in England. He was on the books of Crewe Alexandra earlier in his career but were released in 2012 without playing any first team match with them.[4][5] He has also played for Market Drayton Town, Congleton Town, and Ossett Albion.[6][7]

Johor Darul Ta'zim II

In 2016, Ting moved to Malaysia and signed with Johor Darul Ta'zim II, who loaned him to Malaysia Premier League club Negeri Sembilan for the 2016 season.[8][9]

PKNS

In 2018, Ting signed with PKNS and helped the team to a third-place finish in the 2018 league, and also reached the quarter-final of the 2018 Malaysia FA Cup and the semi-final of the 2018 Malaysia Cup.[10]

Career break

Ting stopped playing professionally and moved to Australia after the 2018 season ended.[10][11]

Kuala Lumpur City

On 18 January 2021, Ting returned to Malaysia after two years and signed with Kuala Lumpur City.[11] He became one of the key players for Kuala Lumpur City in the 2021 season, as the team won the 2021 Malaysia Cup for the first time in 32 years.[12] He was also nominated as the best defender of the season at the National Football Awards.[13]

Johor Darul Ta'zim

Ting left Kuala Lumpur City in March 2022 and rejoined with Johor Darul Ta'zim in July 2022.[14][15] He played eight league matches for the feeder team Johor Darul Ta'zim II, with whom he won the 2022 Malaysia Premier League.[16]

Sabah (loan)

On 8 January 2023, Ting joined Sabah on loan from Johor Darul Ta'zim.[17]

International career

Ting was born in Chester, Cheshire, England to a Malaysian Chinese father from Sarawak and an English mother, thus making him eligible to play for England and Malaysia, but he opted to represent Malaysia.

In March 2023, Ting was called up by Malaysia's national team head coach Kim Pan-gon for a training camp ahead of two friendlies against Turkmenistan and Hong Kong on 23 and 28 March 2023, respectively.[18] He debuted against the latter, replacing La'Vere Corbin-Ong in the second half.[19] During the 2023 AFC Asian Cup group stage fixture against South Korea on 25 January 2024, Ting went on to have a "Man of the Match" performance where he was playing at right midfielder which was not his natural position. He even gained media attention worldwide for pulling a last man sliding tackle on world class footballer, Son Heung-min.

Ting scored his first international goal on 20 June 2023 in a friendly match against Papua New Guinea at the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium.
