Danelle Tan Li Ern (born 25 October 2004) is a Singaporean women's football player. A forward, she is known for being the youngest international goalscorer in Singapore and the fifth youngest in the world.[1][2]
Early life
Tan started playing football when she was 6 and joined her brothers at JSSL academy. She scored 12 goals in her first session and has been playing ever since.[3][4]
Club career
In 2019, Tan joined Still Aerion FC, an amateur women's team from Football association of Singapore. Scoring on her debut match in May 2019, at the age of 14, made her the second-youngest goal scorer in the competition's history.[5]
She scored 16 goals in 6 games and became the league's top scorer.[6] She also scored 4 goals in the Challenge Cup and helped Still Aerion FC to enter the finals where they lost 0–1 to Tanjong Pagar United FC.[7] She then joined Lion City Sailors FC, but played no official matches due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Singapore. She then moved to England to study at Mill Hill School. She is the first female to represent Mill Hill's First XI football team. [8]
International career
Tan made the Singapore U16 in 2017 at the age of 12. She scored her first goal for the under 16 team in September 2018 in a 4–1 win against Tajikistan.[9] She registered her first hat-trick a few days later in a 4–0 win against Northern Mariana Islands.[10]
She made her Singapore U19 debut on 24 October 2018 in a 0–8 loss against Jordan in the 2019 AFC U-19 Women's Championship qualification. She was the youngest player in the Singapore squad at the age of 13.[11]
In a UEFA-FAS tournament in March 2019, she scored 4 goals against Guam and 1 against Cambodia, to be the joint top scorer in the tournament held in Singapore. She also received the Golden Boot of the UEFA Under-15 Tournament in 2019.[12]
Tan was called up to the senior national team and made her debut on 16 August 2019 at the AFF Women's Championship.[13] She scored a last-minute goal in the 1–2 defeat against Timor-Leste. She was 14 years, which made her the youngest goalscorer (male and female) in Singapore and the fifth youngest in the world.[1][2]
In the 2022 FAS Tri-Nations series, Tan scored 2 goals and had 1 assist in a 6-2 win against Seychelles.[14] She was also named as one of three best players in a 0-1 defeat against Papua New Guinea.[15]
