W Connection Owner/President David John Williams was pleased to announce his newest Brazilian addition speaking with ‘ttproleague.com’ he said, “De Souza has been with us on trial for the past three weeks. Our coaches are very impressed with him and he is out of contract, so we took the opportunity of signing him,” confirmed Williams.

Williams added, “We have a lot of contacts in Brazil and De Souza was made available to us.”

“I like the Brazilian connection attached to W Connection. Here at Connection there are a lot more Brazilians than where I played in Angola and I am happy to be playing alongside guys like Gefferson and Seabra.”

De Souza is also in high spirits to be attached to club with W Connection’s history adding, “It’s another opportunity for me to play outside of Brazil,” said the former Athletico Paradinese FC player. “I am happy to be with a team that has a lot of titles and I am going to do my part to help them win more,” ended Jose Luiz De Souza.

Out of curiosity, is there a limit on how many foreigners each proleague team can have on its roster?

And with th CSME coming into force, what about non caricom foreigners?

Well done!  I would like to know how revenue is generated by Connection and other Pro League teams to pay these players. Feedback anyone?

Most of the pro-league teams have problems paying their players. This is because most of the players salaries are paid out of the owners pockets (who usually have one or two business). David John Williams owns a construction company and also sells Audi and Volvo. He pays the players through these avenues. Those Brazilians salary is around $2000-2300US a month. And this was a while ago. Maybe there salary has gone up. The St Lucian players gets about the same and in the case of Earl he gets more. Guess how much the Trinidadians players gets (not all of them but most of them) ?

$1700-3500TT a month. David John Williams really looking out for his own.

Thanks Kingman, In order for this TT Pro league to be viable that paying outta pocket has to change. More businesses have to be involved as well as the media. I'll keep blowing the same horn: MARKETING,MARKETING,MARKETING.
