Howard University head coach Phillip Gyau is keen on making annual visits to this country in search of young footballers hopeful of joining Howard’s football programme.

Gyau visited these shores earlier this month for a players combine in conjunction with the T&T Football Association (TTFA) during which time he saw some 150 players with the hope of offering at least five scholarships to talented players. He admitted though that a lack of satisfactory SAT scores proved to be a challenge.

“I was very pleased with the support and the turnout. This shows that the players want to go to school and play. They need to know that without academics their opportunities will be limited,” Gyau said.

“But I was happy with what I saw from some of the players and I decided that Trinidad was one of the places I would visit to try and find players because of the history between Howard and T&T especially in the early 70s. I will make this visit an annual event.
