Thorpey Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Got a lad with me who is a senior international for Trinidad & Tobago and just released from a contract from a premier league club in Honduras. Aged 22 with a Trinidad & Tobago passport, he's here to be with his auntie as his mum died and doesn't know his dad. Nice lad who just wants to play football. Took him to Farnborough Town last week for training and stood out like a sore thumb. A young JJ tbh and scored a screamer with fantastic balance just like the great man! They asked him to play a friendly tonight against Kingstonian but his inclusion was denied by the FA. After speaking with FA and immigration turns out he needs any club with a sponsor licence to add him to it which may take ten months! Must be another round it? Any ideas anyone as I'm getting fed up trying to sort this out! Check out Akeem Garnet Roach or Akeem Roach for more info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to miss every chance, he's no Tony Caldwell that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted October 23, 2018 Moderators Share Posted October 23, 2018 No idea but a club at that level simply aren't going to bother setting international clearance from Honduras. It's a fucking minefield getting it from Wales when they've bobbed over the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want over £2.4k for the licence which a club must get. He's got an offer from Malta today, a couple of conference clubs may take him or there's the chance to go to Scotland with a loan out to Belgium. Hopefully, get something sorted for the lad.
