José Angulo (born January 13, 1988) is a Colombian footballer who plays for Saint Louis FC of the United Soccer League.
Angulo grew up in Clifton, New Jersey, son of Jose "El Perilla (The Knob) " Angulo which had a 10 year career in Colombia who played for Junior. He was also first Colombian to ever score at the Historic Metropolitano Stadium in 1986 against Uruguay. Jose Jr attended Saint Benedict's Preparatory School, where he was a teammate of fellow professional Nelson Becerra. He was a Parade Magazine All-American at St. Benedict's, and was widely regarded as one of the best high school players in the country.
Angulo turned professional straight out of high school but despite numerous trials with clubs in Europe including: Hannover 96, Lazio, Penafiel, he was unable to secure a professional contract with those European clubs due to visa issues. Returning to the United States in January 2008, his rights were assigned to New England Revolution through the Major League Soccer "discovery claim" process. Angulo eventually signed with New England in autumn.
He played only one game for the Newark Ironbound Express in the USL Premier Development League in 2009, and scored 10 goals for the Central Jersey Spartans in 2010, before finally signing his first professional contract in 2011 when he signed with the Harrisburg City Islanders of the USL Professional Division.
