He made his debut for the club on June 3, 2007 in a match against Portuguese Supra, which resulted in the club's first home victory by a score 4–2.[4] In between the USL 1st division season, he went back to Jamaica to form a prolific strike partnerships with Newton Sterling and Teafore Bennett at Village United.

gollark: Making prizes more available wouldn't really do anything bad other than hurt trading value of existing ones.
gollark: It probably would, though.
gollark: I have no idea how many there are. I don't see how people would be particularly hurt by prizes becoming easier to get.
gollark: Changes which upset lots of people are bad. So are status quos which upset people. We have a bad status quo.
gollark: Well, I suggested it.I may have been joking.
