He can play in either defence or midfield. Ben then joined Luton Town, playing for their reserves against Norwich on 18th October 2006 and 3rd May 2007.

Since Ben finished playing he worked as a full time coach at The David Beckham Academy and academy recruitment scout for Ipswich Town FC. He went on to gain his UEFA B License as well as the FA Youth Modules 1 & 2 and was Under 14 manager at Cambridge United FC before becoming Chief Scout.

Ben's other coaching experience includes local companies Soccer Development and Elite Soccer; Billy Wingrove's Soccer Schools and AC Milan Soccer Schools. In addition Ben is the regional scout for the South East of England for The Scouting Network, conducting team assessments and player reports for Football League clubs. He also is co-owner of PFD Coaching.

On 1st Janaury 2015, Ben joined Norwich as Head of Academy Recruitment.

On 15th October 2016, Ben returned to Cambridge as Head of Football Operations which will oversee United's scouting and recruitment process and their performance department, which includes sports science, physiotherapy and analysis, as well as all football logistics and the academy.

After overseeing Cambridge's promotion to League One in 2020/21 and their 14th place finish in 2021/22, Strang emerged as a contender for the role of Head of Football Operations at Portsmouth on 11th May 2022. However Strang chose to remain at Cambridge.

Strang left Cambridge on 18th February 2025 by mutual consent. Cambridge owner Paul Barry said: “On behalf of everyone associated with the club, I would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Ben for his huge contribution to everything we have achieved on and off the pitch over the last decade and more. He has brought some great players to Cambridge United who have helped create many great memories for us all and he leaves the football club in much better shape than when he joined it. "
