with Josh Johnson.
NOTE: A "speedy" right wing player, represented Trinidad
and Tobago at the FIFA U-20 World qualifying tournament in 2001 and the 2004
Olympic qualifying series in Mexico. Johnson's pace on the right allow him to
ease pass opposing defenders, he's great with crosses and can also play on-top if
needed. Johnson was also adjudged Most Improved Player for his club Jabloteh
during the 2005 season and shared the title for scoring the most goals (15) with
team-mate Kerry Noray that same year. From 1999 to 2005 midfielder Johnson
managed to score over 32 goals for San Juan Jabloteh with the 2005 season being
his best.

Johnson on Luton Town trial.
By Joel Villafana.
22-Feb-2006 - Speedy winger Josh Johnson and nippy striker Kerry Noray could
very well be wearing Jabloteh colours this coming season. Josh Johnson is
expected back in early March from a trial with English club Luton Town and Kerry
Noray is off on a short stint with Lebanese club Safa FC.
The two players were joint top scorers for CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh last
season and the club is willing to welcome them both back into the fold if they
wish to return.
Johnson is currently out of contract, but has already been engaging in talks
with Jabloteh to sign a new contract.
Jabloteh's head coach Terry Fenwick is also eager to welcome back the two
players, he told ttproleague.com "I will be delighted to have both Josh and
Kerry back in my squad—I am very familiar with them, they have grown and
developed as players under me and I think they are both great talents, they both
have the ability to score goals and I will welcome them back both with open
arms."
The San Juan based club recently made a big sweep, securing the signatures of
Anton and Glenton Wolfe from North East Stars—the Wolfe brothers have both
caught the eye of National head Coach Leo Beenhakker and are on the verge of
International duty for Trinidad and Tobago.
This coming season Jabloteh is promising an almost total local outfit when they
take the field.
Jabloteh Director Toussant Boyce confirmed this saying, " At the moment the
Pro League squad is comprised almost entirely of Trinidad and Tobago players
some of whom are widely known stars and some of whom are young stars in the
making. Indeed, the core of our Pro League team is going to be a powerful unit
of about nine locally based national players some of whom we look forward to see
play in the World Cup Finals in Germany. We expect them to take the Pro League
to another level with consistent displays of football of the highest quality.
The fans deserve that. The country needs to see its local stars at their very
best and Jabloteh football is happy to provide this opportunity. "
