'''Ismail bin Yunos''' (born 24 October 1986) is a [[Singapore]]an [[centre-back]] who plays for [[S-League]] side [[Home United]] and the [[Singapore national football team]].

==Club career==
Ismail has previously played for S.League clubs [[Home United]], [[Gombak United]] and [[Young Lions (Singapore football team)|Young Lions]].

==International career==
He was part of the team that won the [[Tiger Cup]] in 2005 and the [[2007 ASEAN Football Championship]] two years later.  He was also part of the [[Singapore national football team#Under-23 Team|Singapore Under-23]] team that took part in the [[2005 Southeast Asian Games]] in [[Philippines]] and also won a bronze medal for the 2007 edition in [[Korat]], [[Thailand]].

Possessing a lanky frame and a composure belying his age, Ismail was called up by national team coach [[Radojko Avramovic]] into the Lions squad for the first time in September 2004 after a series of promising performances for the Under-18 and U-21 teams. But he only got his first team debut for the [[Singapore national football team|Singapore]] on 28 December 2006, in the invitational tournament, [[King's Cup (Thailand)|King's Cup]] held in Thailand, against [[Vietnam national football team|Vietnam]].

A mid-season transfer to [[Warriors F.C.]], Ismail played an exception role in marshalling the defense for the Warriors. Wearing the number 4 shirt, he made numerous tackles to deny the opponents from scoring. Ismail was instrumental in the Warriors 1-0 win over [[Albirex Niigata S FC]] when they clinched their first title in 5 years and their 9th title in the league's 19 years history.
