Gabriel Quak

Young Lions

Quak began his professional football career with Under-23 side Young Lions in the S.League in 2008.

Quak was one of the Young Lions players involved in an on-pitch fight with Beijing Guoan Talent players in their S.League match on 7 September 2010. He was charged by the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) for gross misconduct and bringing the game into disrepute and was banned for four months and fined S$1,000 for his part in the brawl. Quak missed the 2010 Asian Games as a result of the ban.

LionsXII

In December 2011, the FAS announced that Quak was to join the newly formed LionsXII for the 2012 Malaysia Super League. National service commitments however meant that Quak failed to make a single appearance throughout the 2012 season. He was de-registered in the mid-season transfer window.

Quak returned to the LionsXII squad for the 2013 season. He made his long-awaited debut against PKNS on 15 January. He made 15 appearances in all competitions as the Lions won the 2013 Malaysia Super League.

The left-footed Quak was switched to the right side of attack for both club and country for the 2014 season. He scored his first LionsXII goal in a 3–0 win over DRB-Hicom in the Malaysia FA Cup on 21 January. He scored his first league goal, an opener against newly promoted side PDRM FA , as Lionsxii defeated them 5-3.

On the opening day of the 2015 Malaysian Super League Season, Gabriel scored the Lionsxii's first goal of the season, helping the Lionsxii win their opening match 5-3 against PDRM FA. Similarly, in the Lionsxii's opening game in the Malaysia FA Cup, Gabriel scored the 3rd goal in a 4-0 win against minnows PB Melayu Kedah to push the Lionsxii into the Round of 16.

Geylang International

Following the dissolution of the LionsXII, Quak signed for Geylang International and scored his first goal for the Eagles in a league match against Warriors FC, ending a long goalscoring drought.
