Kelly in training squad for Carib Champs

A 29-man training squad has been named to prepare for the Digicel Caribbean Championships which will be hosted by Jamaica from December 1-15.

The players will be in camp initially from today until Friday.

Among the players named is 26-year-old Keith Kelly. Midfielder Kelly who made his senior team debut at 17 and was signed by French club Paris Saint-Germain at the same age before losing his way, was last invited to a national squad in August. Also earning recalls are Sean Fraser, who last represented the country a year ago as well as goalkeeper Dwayne Kerr, forward Steven Morrissey and utility player O'brian Woodbine. Woodbine last represented Jamaica against Honduras in San Pedro Sula in September.

Young forward Keammar Daley of Meadhaven earns a recall to the squad after missing the week-long camp in the Cayman Islands due to illness. Andre Campbell, a left-sided player who had his first call-up for the Cayman Islands camp retains his place.

Also included in the squad are a number of overseas-based players including veteran utility player Tyrone Marshall, Shavar Thomas, Dane Richards and Omar Cummings of the MLS. They are joined by Rodolph Austin, Luton Shelton and Oneil Thompson who all play in Norway while the duo of Jason Morrison and Rafe Wolfe who ply their trade in Hungary are included as well. Demar Stewart and Wolry Wolfe complete the list of overseas-based players invited.

All players with the exception of Cummings, Richards, Shelton, Wolry Wolfe, Thomas and Marshall who join the squad on December 1, are expected to report to camp today.
