Club career
He started his career in Guyana and playing for Alpha United, Pele and Netrockers. He was voted Guyana player of the year in 1998. Later he moved to Trinidad & Tobago where he proceeded to spend almost all of his career playing professional football for clubs including Docs Kewalas, W Connection, San Juan Jabloteh and two spells with North East Stars, where he became team captain, leading them to championship in 2004.
After a spell in the US playing for United Soccer League side Brooklyn Knights, he returned to Trinidad to play for Caledonia AIA. He joined Joe Public in January 2010[2] but after just two starts he left the club in April 2010[3] citing the need to get more regular football in his final season before retirement. Later the same month he rejoined former club North East Stars for the 2010–11 season.[4]
International career
Capped numerous times by the national team, he was the international squad's team captain between 1997 and 2007.[5]
