Jamaican players Lamar Walker and Jashaun Anglin have been signed by Miami FC in the United Soccer League, the club announced today.

The 21-year-old Walker represented Portmore United from 2017 to 2020 in the Red Stripe Premier League, winning two titles with the club during the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons and has represented the Reggae Boyz on six occasions including the two friendlies against Saudi Arabia last November.

The 19-year-old Anglin has made 21 appearances for Harbour View FC and made his Reggae Boyz debut in March 2020. He, too, was among the players representing Jamaica during the two-match series against Saudi Arabia.

“Jahshaun and Lamar are two outstanding young players that we believe can flourish in our environment,” said Technical Director and Head Coach Paul Dalglish.

“Both are already full Jamaican internationals who have the ambition to play at the highest level. Lamar is a really creative player, fantastic 1v1 and has a really good eye for a final pass, while Jahshaun is a defensive midfielder with good athleticism and a really good range of passing.

 “We believe with the staff and environment we have in place we can fulfil their potential. We want to be pioneers at Miami FC and create an extra revenue stream through player sales. The USL Championship has made giant strides in recent years and we believe this is the next step for teams in the league.”
