New find: T&T player Darryl Roberts is headed for Holland.
Striker Darryl Roberts has apparently made a lot of people from Trinidad and Tobago proud of his achievement of signing a two-year deal with Sparta Rotterdam, who are currently 11th in the Dutch first division.
Roberts is a former El Dorado Junior Secondary and Fatima College player who only came to national prominence during the recent Digicel Caribbean Cup Finals.
Hailing from Trincity, he is based in the United States where he played college football for Liberty College. He is also a former Malta Carib Alcons youth footballer.
During Trinidad and Tobago's recent tour of Panama and Costa Rica, the news broke that the newcomer had become the country's latest European-based professional. Since then, the story has been one of the most supported on the internet version of the Trinidad Express and has received several hits from fans congratulating the 23-year-old Soca Warrior.
From London to New York, Trinbagonians have sent their comments giving the young striker the "big up" and urging him to work hard and succeed in Holland.
London Trini says: "Well done lad", while CJ of New York adds: "Well done meh lion".
Roberts has also been hailed as the new Dwight Yorke.
