Early life and background
Birth and family heritage
Daniel Ting was born on 12 January 1992 in Chester, Cheshire, England.[7] His father, of Malaysian Chinese descent, hails from Sarawak, Malaysia, while his mother is English from Manchester, giving him a mixed Malaysian-English heritage.[8] This family background conferred eligibility for the Malaysia national team through his father's citizenship, alongside potential representation for England by birth.[9] Ting acquired Malaysian citizenship in 2016, solidifying his international options.[9] No further details on siblings or extended family appear in records pertinent to his professional career. Raised in the Manchester area amid cultural influences from both sides of his family, Ting's early years in England fostered his initial connection to football.[10]Youth development in England
Daniel Ting joined the youth academy of Crewe Alexandra in 2007 at the age of 15, beginning his structured football training in the competitive English system.[9] Born in Chester, England, to a Malaysian father, this early involvement laid the foundation for his later international eligibility through descent.[11] During his five years at Crewe from 2007 to 2012, Ting progressed through various age groups, honing his abilities primarily as a left-back with an emphasis on defensive positioning and tackling.[9] The academy's rigorous program focused on technical development, physical conditioning, and tactical awareness, where Ting was noted for his calm demeanor under pressure, strong tackling dominance, and impressive pace on the flank.[11] Despite consistent advancement in youth squads, he did not make any senior appearances for the club, reflecting the high competition within English youth football.[8] Ting was released by Crewe Alexandra in 2012, as limited pathways to the first team emerged in the increasingly selective environment of professional academies.[9] This decision came after he completed his apprenticeship and was offered a one-year extension, but prospects for breakthrough remained constrained amid the club's youth setup.[11]Club career
Early professional career in England
Ting signed his first professional contract with Crewe Alexandra in 2011, having progressed through the club's youth academy since 2007. Despite this step up, he failed to make any first-team appearances during the 2011–2012 season in League One.[9][8] In 2012, seeking playing time, Ting was loaned to Northern Premier League Division One South club Market Drayton Town, where he made two appearances. He then joined the club permanently for the 2012–2013 season, though his overall involvement remained limited to those two outings in the league.[12][8] Ting's search for regular minutes continued with short spells at other non-league sides. He moved to Congleton Town for the 2013–2014 season in the North West Counties League, but recorded no appearances. In 2014, he briefly played for Ossett Albion in the Northern Premier League Division One North, featuring in one match.[12][8] By 2015, while pursuing a degree in sports science at Leeds Beckett University, Ting had another short stint with Droylsden in the Northern Premier League Division One, though he again made no appearances. These experiences in England's lower tiers highlighted his challenges in securing consistent opportunities.[10][8] Overall, Ting's early professional endeavors in non-league football yielded sparse playing time, prompting him to explore international options beyond England.[10]Johor Darul Ta'zim II and loan to Negeri Sembilan
In late 2015, following his time in English non-league football with clubs such as Droylsden, Daniel Ting signed his first professional contract in Asia with Johor Darul Ta'zim II, the reserve team of the prominent Malaysian club Johor Darul Ta'zim.[13] This move represented a significant step in his career, transitioning from semi-professional setups in England to structured Malaysian football development.[14] Shortly after joining Johor Darul Ta'zim II, Ting was loaned out to Negeri Sembilan for the 2016 Malaysia Super League season, providing him with exposure to top-tier competition. During this loan spell, he featured in 13 appearances, primarily as a left-back, where he contributed to the team's defensive efforts while adapting to the intense, technical demands of Southeast Asian football, including its sweltering conditions and quicker transitions compared to the physicality of English non-league matches.[13][10] Upon returning from loan at the end of 2016, Ting remained with Johor Darul Ta'zim II for the 2016–2017 Malaysia Premier League campaign, making 11 appearances in the second-tier competition. In this role, he continued to hone his defensive skills, focusing on building partnerships in the backline and adjusting further to the regional style's emphasis on speed and tactical awareness.[9][10]PKNS
In late 2017, Daniel Ting joined PKNS FC (now known as Selangor United) from Johor Darul Ta'zim II ahead of the 2018 Malaysia Super League season.[13] This move followed a brief loan spell at Negeri Sembilan earlier in his career.[15] During the 2018 Super League campaign, Ting established himself as a reliable defender, making 17 appearances for the team.[16] His solid defensive contributions were instrumental in PKNS achieving a third-place finish in the league standings, securing a spot in continental competition qualifiers.[17] Ting did not score any goals across all competitions during this period.[18] Ting's contract with PKNS concluded in November 2018, capping a stable and consistent chapter in his professional journey in Malaysian football.[13]Career break in Australia
Following his stint at PKNS FC in the Malaysia Premier League, where he made limited appearances in the 2018 season, Daniel Ting opted for a career hiatus at the end of that year, relocating to Australia for personal reasons.[16] He later reflected that he had begun to take professional football for granted and needed time away to regain perspective.[16] During this two-year break from 2019 to 2020, Ting made no competitive professional appearances, instead focusing on non-football pursuits such as personal development while living in Cairns with his partner.[16] He occasionally participated in casual futsal and five-a-side games with a local team to stay active, but the period allowed him to reassess his career amid scarce opportunities in Malaysian football at the time.[16][11] Ting returned to professional football in 2021, driven by a renewed passion for the sport after missing the intensity of competitive matches, team camaraderie, and structured training routines.[16] He described feeling physically, mentally, and emotionally refreshed upon his comeback, viewing the break as a pivotal reset that reignited his commitment.[16]Kuala Lumpur City
After a two-year career break in Australia, Daniel Ting signed with Kuala Lumpur City on 18 January 2021, marking his return to professional football in the Malaysia Super League.[16][9] During the 2021–2022 seasons, Ting made 22 appearances and scored 1 goal for the club in the Super League, primarily featuring as a left-back or center-back and contributing to the team's defensive solidity.[19] His performances helped Kuala Lumpur City secure a mid-table finish in the league, building on their promotion from the previous year. Ting played a pivotal role in the club's success in the 2021 Malaysia Cup, appearing in key matches including the final against Johor Darul Ta'zim on 30 November 2021, where Kuala Lumpur City won 2–0 to claim their first title in 32 years.[20] This victory qualified the team for the 2022 AFC Cup group stage and highlighted Ting's importance in their cup run.[20] Ting departed Kuala Lumpur City in March 2022, having helped elevate the team's standing in domestic competitions during his tenure.Johor Darul Ta'zim
In June 2022, Daniel Ting rejoined Johor Darul Ta'zim, signing as a defender following his departure from Kuala Lumpur City.[13] Despite being part of the first-team squad, he recorded no appearances in the Malaysia Super League during the 2022–2023 season, amid stiff competition in the defensive line.[18] Ting primarily featured for Johor Darul Ta'zim II in the Malaysia Premier League, contributing to the reserve team's successful campaign.[21] The side clinched the 2022 title with a 1–0 victory over Selangor II on 30 September 2022, securing their position at the top of the standings.[22] In January 2023, Ting was loaned out to Sabah FC for the remainder of the season.[9]Loan to Sabah
In January 2023, Daniel Ting joined Sabah FC on loan from Johor Darul Ta'zim, where he had signed his parent club contract the previous year. The loan arrangement was extended in July 2025, securing his stay until May 2026.[9] At Sabah, Ting transitioned into a consistent starting role at left-back, leveraging his versatility to support both defensive solidity and attacking transitions.[18] His offensive contributions proved valuable, with goals and assists aiding the team's build-up play from the flanks.[23] By the end of the 2024–25 season, he had accumulated 61 appearances and 9 goals across all competitions for Sabah.[24] Ting's performances were instrumental in maintaining Sabah's mid-table stability in the Malaysia Super League, helping the club secure a third-place standing in the 2024–25 campaign.[25] As of November 2025, he continues to feature regularly for Sabah in the ongoing 2025–26 season, with early matches underscoring his ongoing involvement.International career
Senior debut with Malaysia
Ting earned his first senior call-up to the Malaysia national team in 2023, based on his eligibility through Malaysian heritage from his father, who hails from Sarawak.[8] His impressive form after joining Sabah FC on loan in January of that year contributed to his selection by coach Kim Pan-gon.[9] Ting made his debut on 28 March 2023 during a friendly match against Hong Kong at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Johor Bahru, where he came on as a substitute in the second half during Malaysia's 2–0 victory.[26][27] In his early international appearances, Ting served as defensive reinforcement, particularly bolstering the backline for the AFF Championship qualifiers.[28]Key international appearances and goals
Ting made his mark on the international stage with his sole goal for Malaysia, scored on 20 June 2023 during a friendly match against Papua New Guinea at the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium in Gong Kedak, contributing to a resounding 10–0 victory. The goal, which came in the 76th minute from a set-piece opportunity, marked his first contribution to the scoresheet after entering as a substitute at halftime.[29] A highlight of Ting's appearances came during the 2023 AFC Asian Cup in Qatar, where he started in Malaysia's Group E clash against South Korea on 25 January 2024 at Al Janoub Stadium, ending in a memorable 3–3 draw. Despite facing a formidable opponent ranked significantly higher in FIFA standings, Ting delivered a robust defensive performance at right midfield, helping to contain threats from players like Son Heung-min and contributing to Malaysia's resilient comeback with late goals. His efforts were widely praised for maintaining defensive solidity in a match that showcased Malaysia's underdog spirit.[30][31] Ting featured prominently in regional competitions thereafter, participating in the 2024 AFF Championship (also known as the ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup) held across Southeast Asia in December 2024. As part of Malaysia's squad, he played in group stage matches, including starts against Cambodia, East Timor, and Singapore, aiding the team's progression amid a competitive group. Although Malaysia did not advance to the finals, Ting's versatility in defensive roles underscored his growing reliability.[32][33] Earlier in the year, Ting was instrumental in Malaysia's successful campaign at the 2024 Merdeka Tournament in Kuala Lumpur, where the Harimau Malaya clinched the title with a 1–0 final win over Lebanon on 8 September 2024. He featured in the semi-final against the Philippines (2–1 victory) and was part of the squad for the decisive matches, providing defensive stability that helped secure the trophy—Malaysia's first Merdeka title since 2019.[34][35] By 10 September 2025, Ting had accumulated 17 caps for Malaysia, with his single goal remaining his only offensive output, primarily derived from set-piece situations. His defensive contributions have been pivotal, including helping maintain clean sheets in key qualifiers and friendlies, such as the 1–0 win over Palestine on 8 September 2025, bolstering Malaysia's campaigns in AFC Asian Cup qualifying and FIFA World Cup preliminaries.[21] Ting continued to feature in subsequent AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, including the 1–0 victory over Nepal on 18 November 2025, bringing his total to 18 caps as of November 2025.[36]Career statistics
