TnT Express Reports.
27-Nov-2002 - Football coaches Joe Bartlinski and Bill Elliot from the University of West Florida (UWF) in Pensacola, USA, are visiting Trinidad and Tobago, hoping to offer soccer scholarships to talented male and female players.
Both coaches are on their second visit to this country, but unlike the first occasion they came with a list of the players at whom they want to have a closer look.
Men's coach Bill Elliot is entering his ninth season with UWF. He has coached against teams who had T&T players like the late Mickey Trotman, Glen Benjamin, goalkeeper Rayshun Mars and Marlon Grant. He recruited former Malick Senior Comprehensive defender Okang Nkosi last season.
"I am very impressed with the T&T players that I have seen in the past and I have heard and followed the progress of quite a few others," said Elliot.
Among the players Elliot has expressed an interest in are St Anthony's goalkeeper Jan Michael Williams and Julius James, Joe Public's Jeremy Delpino and Caledonia AIA's striker Ellis Dyette.
"I have also heard from Mauricia Nicholson about Kerron Phillips and Michael Carrington, so in the next couple days I will be kept busy checking out these players, he said.
