Pro League Club United Petrotrin are gambling all odds on their 2006 season players as they prepare for the 2007 TT Pro League season.
Club Manager Larry Joseph explained to ‘ttproleague.com’ that United Petrotrin has no intention of acquiring new players for the 2007 season saying, “We are already in our seventh week of training as we are preparing for the 2007 season.”
“Coach Brian Williams assisted by Technical Director Edgar Vidale have been with the guys all this time and they are pleased with what they are seeing. We are not planning on any major additions to our team this season,” he said.
However the manager believes if there are any additions to his present squad, it would come from there youth systems.
According to the Manager, his team would only be without two players from last season’s squad.
“So far only two players have dropped out of last season’s squad. Defender Felix Seales who is now 38 years old has retired, as well as 35 year old forward Dexter Cyrus who only joined us last August. As for Dexter a former Palo Seco player, he is still part of the Club but in the coaching department and would assist with the Under-15s,” ended Joseph.
The 2006 Toyota Classic winners would be depending heavily on the experience of key players such as former Trinidad and Tobago national Anthony Rougier now 35 years old in defence, as well as midfielders Romould Aguillera and Kevon Clement.
