Joseph returns from Mexican stintNational Under 23 team midfielder Jayson Joseph is expected back in Port of Spain on Tuesday following his trial with Mexican Second Division club Murciélagos FC.

Joseph will return to North East Stars contrary to a previous report that he had signed a two-year contract.

Despite having to return home after the deal was not completed, the Fyzabad-born player said he benefited from the experience which saw him spend just over three weeks at the club.

“The experience was benefiting even though I’m disappointed not to have secured  a contract,” Joseph told TTFF Media.

“Everything was spot on. I was able to learn a bit of the Spanish language because that became necessary and practical in the day to day operations at the club and helped me in being able to communication with the players and the coaching staff,” he added.
 
"The players and the people in general know  of Trinidad and Tobago and the history of us playing them in World Cup qualifiers and of course our Under 23 team drew with them last year at the Pan American Games. They are so football crazy there. Everything is down to specifics and they treat their preparations very seriously. I think there is a lot that we can learn from them to try and help our game improve as players and overall in the game"

Joseph played in four practice games and scored two goals during his time at the club. He was also on trial at Pachuca last year with Kevin Molino and Micah Lewis.

“I think there was break down somewhere in the negotiations with my overseas agent but I’m still looking forward to returning to North East and featuring at the start of the Pro League season and hopefully another opportunity will come up along the way,” Joseph ended.
