Wolfe started his professional career with North East Stars in the TT Pro League in 2002 and won the league title with the Sangre Grande-based club in 2004, during which he contributed eight goals.
The attacker then made the switch to San Juan Jabloteh in 2006 and became the league’s top scorer with 16 goals before making the move to the United States, where he played for the Atlanta Silverbacks in the North American Soccer League, the second tier in the American football system.
