Reggae Boyz head coach Steve McClaren is confident Marseille star striker Mason Greenwood still wants to play for Jamaica.

Greenwood won his lone England cap in 2020 but Football Association (FA) chief executive Mark Bullingham has confirmed the 23-year-old has said he intends to switch allegiances.

The process has been held up because the documentation required by the Jamaican Football Federation is still to be received.

"We are in contact all the time, with him (Greenwood) and his family,” said McClaren during a press conference on Friday.

"I am very confident he only wants to play for Jamaica. It is up to him when he moves forward with that. The ball is in his court," he added.

It was hoped the switch was going to be concluded by the summer, when Jamaica play two friendlies in the United Kingdom before starting their World Cup qualifying campaign in June and then, potentially, featuring in the Concacaf Gold Cup but that is no longer certain and Greenwood.
