A lot will be expected out of Josimar Belgrave in 2008 by St Ann’s Rangers when the League kicks off in April as thier rising talent in offence.
Just as Rangers will surely be confident of the 21 year old Belgrave, he is confident of his club having a great season in 2008.
“Great things will come from Rangers this season,” said the striker following his practice session with Rangers on Thursday.
“Although we have a new coach(Dion La Foucade) together with the old one(Anthony Streete), we already have a bond going and it’s just to get the new players together with one mind focused on bringing home some silverware this season,” he said.
In 2007, Belgrave finished the League with nine goals to his name. In all competitions he had a 13 goals tally.
Rangers finished last season in a disappointing seventh position and Belgrave admits to a poor performance by his team.
“We started off good, but in between we suffered a bit off the field. We also lost a couple key players (Errol Mc Falane, Kerwyn Jemmott and Milton Gomez). But I don’t think that we can blame our performance on the loss of those players. We as players are not bigger than the game and it was for the rest of the team to perform. Players will come, players will go, the game still goes on,” said the St Ann’s Rangers forward.

Confident of his club and teammates in 2008, Belgrave said, “We might have young players in age but we are experienced enough. We are also expecting a couple seasoned players to come into the team and bring more experience to the rest of guys. I myself could lend my support and help the less experienced guys.”
“We have players like Todd Ryan, Devon Modeste and some younger ones who are here with the club and together we can bring glory to our club.”
Commenting on his new head coach, the Rangers forward said, “He is ok. He is new to this level and has asked for our support and we are willing to work with him.”
Belgrave is now committed at improving what he does best. “I want to convert more of my chances. Last season the opportunities came for me but I didn’t put them all away. So this season I want to improve on my scoring and help my team win silverware,” ended Belgrave.
