Ángelo Jasiel Balanta (born 1 July 1990) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or a striker for National League South club Hornchurch.

Born in Cali, Colombia, Balanta moved to England when he was 5[2] and grew up in Fulham as a youth where he attended Hurlingham & Chelsea Secondary school.

[5] In the 10th minute of the game, Balanta put Dexter Blackstock through with a looping ball which resulted in him being fouled and a penalty kick being given, which was scored by Martin Rowlands.

In the 40th minute, Balanta won an aerial challenge against Lloyd Doyley and found unmarked Martin Rowlands with a lob.

[19] On 22 October 2018, he signed for fellow National League outfit Dagenham & Redbridge[20] mere days after playing against them in the FA Cup, a game in which Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter stated 'his mind was understandably elsewhere'.

[21] In the same statement, Hunter also revealed that Dagenham had initially seen two bids rejected before finally reaching agreement on a 'substantial deal' of undisclosed value.

[23] Following Boreham Wood's relegation at the end of the 2023–24 season, Balanta was in talks regarding a new contract,[24] instead opting to join newly promoted National League South side Hornchurch.
