Celtic and Watford

Beginning his career as an outfielder,[3] Angelini played for and coached at St Cadoc's during his youth career.[4] He joined the Celtic Academy at age eight and was converted into a goalkeeper.[3] He progressed to sign a two-year professional contract at the age of 16 in August 2019.[5] After 11 years with the club,[3] Angelini left Celtic when his contract expired at the end of the 2020–21 season.[6]

In July 2021, Angelini moved to England to join the Watford U23 team.[7] He signed a two-year contract, with the option of a further year.[8] While assuming a "leadership role" with the U23 team and captaining the team on occasion, Angelini trained with the first team group and was an unused substitute during three 2021–22 Premier League matches.[9] He departed the club in January 2023.[9]

Brentford

On 30 January 2023, Angelini signed an 18-month contract with the B team at Premier League club Brentford, with the option of a further year, following a successful trial.[10] In December 2023, Angelini was an unused substitute during two Premier League matches.[11] He was released when the club declined to take up the option on his contract at the end of the 2023–24 season.[12]

Al-Riyadh

Following a successful trial spell,[13] Angelini signed a two-year contract with Saudi Pro League club Al-Riyadh on 3 September 2024.[14] He served as third choice behind Milan Borjan and Abdulrahman Al-Shammari during the 2024–25 season and was an unused substitute during three matches.[11] He departed the club during the 2025 off-season.[15]

Jerv

After trialling with Waldhof Mannheim and USL Dunkerque during the 2025 off-season,[16][17] Angelini signed a contract with Norwegian Second Division club Jerv on 11 September 2025.[18] He made six appearances during the remainder of the 2025 season,[19] in which the club fell short of the playoff place.[20] Angelini signed a new 18-month contract in November 2025.[19]

International career

Angelini was an unused substitute for the Scotland U21 team on four occasions during the 2023–24 season.[21]
