US-based striker Scott Sealy says he’s pumped up for his reintroduction into the National senior team for today’s 2006 World Cup qualifier against the United States in Connecticut.


The Kansas City Wizards forward currently has seven goals this season in the MLS and has recently caught good form and has also caught the eye of T&T head coach Leo Beenhakker.

Sealy is yet to make an appearance for the “Warriors” in the final round of the qualifiers but insists that he’s up for the challenge.

“I haven’t been in the team for  a while now but I think once I get the chance on Wednesday, I should be up for it. The last few months have been a really good learning experience for me in the MLS. I had been playing well but I just wasn’t scoring and now of late, the goals have started coming and my confidence has grown,” Sealy said after training in Hartford on the eve of the encounter.

Like Stern John, Sealy is intent on making the best of his time in the MLS and hopefully move on to bigger things in the years ahead.
