Angus was invited to the 2009 MLS Player Combine in Florida for the 2009 MLS SuperDraft. Due to a strong college career, numerous pundits and journalists predicted him to go reasonably high in the draft, so it was a surprise when he went undrafted. Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls offered him a trial, but he declined. However, soon after he signed with USL-2 side Wilmington Hammerheads, a team in the 3rd tier of American league soccer.
In June 2009 he went on a trial with Swedish side GAIS and on 8 July the club confirmed signing of Calum Angus. Angus made his debut for GAIS against Halmstad BK on July 12, 2009. Calum came off the bench in the 81st minute and scored the equalizer for GAIS in the 90th minute of the match.
