Club career

Early career

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]

Singapore

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]

Australia

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]

Mongolia

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]
