In the Netherlands:

International Debut St Maarten National Squad

With his team Hercules u18, he competes at one of the highest national youth levels. A mix between very strong amateur teams and pro academies, like Go Ahead Eagles & Telstar 1963. Currently his team is 3rd in the rankings, thanks to a very tight back line that does not concede a lot of goals. In the last years several youth players from his region have made the transition to the collegiate level in the US

PERSONAL STATEMENT

As a defender at College of the Desert, I bring tactical and technical skills and speed with a good play-in pass to the field.
I am a strong and big defender with a good pass on the ground and in the air. A player with calmness and self-confidence on the ball with technical skills that can dribble away a striker. Good and neat tackles and strong in the 1v1 both in the air and on the ground.

I hope to achieve in college: my biggest goal in college is of course to get as far as possible in the college soccer tournament. And that I can show myself on a larger stage to other coaches, players, etc. But I also hope to find myself in interests and a further study that could help me in the future, but above all I hope to gain some special, special and experience-rich years in college.


The most important thing for me in a school is that I find a school with a coach who has confidence in me and knows about my strengths and can build on them. I hope to find a school with a family culture. Hardworking players, who also meet up as a group of friends outside of football. I also hope for a nice campus and dorm, the location wouldn't matter if the rest of the school is in good order.
