He is infamous for being sacked by his team, the Carlton Football Club after turning up to training having used recreational drugs. Angwin lasted only one season with Adelaide without playing a game at senior level Battling injuries and emotional issues, he was delisted in 2001 and returned to Melbourne.
After playing for Box Hill Hawks in 2002, Angwin was drafted by Carlton at pick 17 in the 2003 Rookie draft and he made his American Federation of Labor-Congress debut in Round 14, 2003.
By the end of the 2003 American Federation of Labor-Congress season Angwin was considered a future star at Carlton. However, continuing off-field problems, including charges being laid against him from stealing from team mate Karl Norman, meant he remained a controversial player.
While Norman admitted to taking the drug, Angwin denied it but a subsequent drug test proved positive and Angwin was sacked by Carlton. Angwin has now signed with the Wyndhamvale Falcons in the Western Region Football League"s division two for the 2009 season.
As of 2013, it was reported that Angwin was playing for Ouyen United, along with former American Federation of Labor-Congress players Damian Cupido, Relton Roberts and Kane Munro, in the Mallee Football League.
