Before that, however, his attention must turn\u00a0back to club football.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ng recently signed a new two-year contract with Cardiff City. The club will compete in the Championship next season, one tier below the English Premier League, after earning promotion from League One.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Having spent five seasons at the Welsh club and a two-time player of the season winner, Ng said the appointment of new manager Brian Barry-Murphy convinced him to stay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe way he’s changed the culture of the club is unbelievable,\u201d he said. \u201cThat’s why I’ve recently signed again. I wouldn’t leave to play for another manager because I rate him so highly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
With many younger players in the squad, Ng believes he now has an important leadership role.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the relegation season, I feel like we’ve all grown, and learned stuff \u2026 which we can take into this year, and I think we’ll surprise a few (people). So, it’s really exciting going back. I can’t wait.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ng believes his experience in English football \u2013 one of the world’s most competitive football systems \u2013 could benefit Singapore if he eventually earns the chance to represent the Lions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
For now, he is making the most of his time in Singapore before returning to the United Kingdom for pre-season. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Away from football, volunteering and family visits, his itinerary is refreshingly simple.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI just like walking around the country and finding new things, and new places to eat,\u201d he said. \u201c(There\u2019re) so many places to eat. So, I’m just chilling out, eating some good food.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
