SLINGERZ Football Club has announced the signings of Trinidadian forward Derrell Garcia and Guyanese midfielder Solomon Austin as they aim to win the GFF Elite League title.
The club, which is currently undefeated and top of the league, made several additions during the recent transfer window to strengthen its squad.
Garcia, an 18-year-old forward from Trinidad and Tobago Pro League side San Juan Jabloteh, has been recognised by Soca Warriors head coach Dwight Yorke for his performances.
He is known for his pace and is scheduled to make his debut against Ann’s Grove United on Sunday at the National Training Centre, Providence.
Nineteen-year-old Austin joins from Morvant Caledonia United and previously played in the GFF Elite League for Fruta Conquerors FC. The former national youth team captain is considered a promising talent in Guyana and made his senior national team debut last year.
Slingerz have also signed several other players, including 23-year-old forward Jean-Heim Mc Fee, Brazilian centre-back Kayo De Souza, 17-year-old Neeiaz Baksh, and defender Michael Joseph, a former national U17 international.
The team has a nine-game winning streak and is the only unbeaten side in the GFF Elite League this season. Their only recent blip was a 1-1 draw against Western Tigers.
