Ismail Yunos (born 24 October 1986) is a Singaporean centre-back who plays for S-League side Home United and the Singapore national football team.

Club career

[edit]

Ismail has previously played for S.League clubs Home United, Gombak United and Young Lions.

International career

[edit]

He was part of the team that won the Tiger Cup in 2005 and the 2007 ASEAN Football Championship two years later. He was also part of the Singapore Under-23 team that took part in the 2005 Southeast Asian Games in Philippines and also won a bronze medal for the 2007 edition in Korat, Thailand.

Possessing a lanky frame and a composure belying his age, Ismail was called up by national team coach Radojko Avramovic into the Lions squad for the first time in September 2004 after a series of promising performances for the Under-18 and U-21 teams. But he only got his first team debut for the Singapore on 28 December 2006, in the invitational tournament, King's Cup held in Thailand, against Vietnam.

A mid-season transfer to Warriors F.C., Ismail played an exception role in marshalling the defense for the Warriors. Wearing the number 4 shirt, he made numerous tackles to deny the opponents from scoring. Ismail was instrumental in the Warriors 1-0 win over Albirex Niigata S FC when they clinched their first title in 5 years and their 9th title in the league's 19 years history.
