National Women’s Under 17 team head coach Even Pellerud this week had a number of North American born players join his squad in training.

The local girls team is currently campaigning in the National Women’s League and are also preparing for next year’s FIFA Under 17 Women’s Championship which will be hosted in T&T.

Two of the players joining the squad include members of the previous T&T U-17 team Sydney Hoareau and Saundra Baron. And among the others are Leanna Hinds, who is the cousin of Senior team goalkeeperLisa Jo Ramkissoon and Atlanta-based duo Jasmine Sampson and Breanna Ryce.

Former Aston Villa and English-based player Jlloyd Samuel is a relieved man that new FIFA rules will allow him to play for Trinidad and Tobago and he has set his sights on being part of Russell Latapy’s team in the very near future.

Samuel,  born in San Fernando,  wanted to play for T&T at the 2006 World Cup after efforts were made by the TTFF to have him join the squad but FIFA ruled  back then that Samuel was too old to be allowed to play for another country as applications could only have be made by players who are under 21. He had also already made seven appearances for England’s National Under 21 team.
