ST GEORGE’S, Grenada, March 1, 2011 - Grenada Football Association (GFA) is seeking to strengthen the senior men’s national team ahead of its second outing in the CONCACAF Gold Cup to be staged in the USA from June 5th to 25th.
The GFA has confirmed that the new management of the senior team will
be looking toward the United Kingdom for more accomplished professionals with
Grenadian roots.
Among those being targeted are Blackburn Rovers’ Jason Roberts,
Everton’s Jermaine Beckford and Wycombe Wanderers’ defender Leon Johnson.
US-based Shalrie Joseph and Craig Rocastle are also expected to
feature prominently in the Spice Boyz line-up. Joseph plays for the New England
Revolution in Major League Soccer and Rocastle is a midfielder with Sporting
Kansas City also in the MLS.
In recent years the GFA, has secured the services of UK-based players
to enhance the team in international tournaments including World Cup preliminaries.
The team is hoping for an improved performance and possible second round qualification
in the 2011 Gold Cup Tournament.
The GFA has extended an invitation to players with Grenadian roots and
who are interested in representing Grenada to contact the Technical Committee
of the association.
