Trinidad and Tobago duo Andre Charles and Bevon Lewis have reportedly showed promising signs during their stint with American Major League Soccer (MLS) side New York/New Jersey Metrostars over the past week.
Charles and Lewis have enjoyed solid seasons for Trinidad pro team Starworld Strikers and earned call ups to the Trinidad national team. According to Starworld boss Ashmeed Ali, Charles, a former Princes Town Senior Comprehensive player has come in for some praise for his efforts so far at Metrostars. Former St Benedict's College standout Kester Cornwall was forced to miss the trial due to injury while Jamaican Under 23 international Nicholas Addlery was kept with the Jamaican team.
"The players have gone out there and have been giving it their best shot from what I have heard so far," Ali said. "The experience alone will be a worthwhile one and if they can tie up deals that will be a plus."
The Metrostars preseason schedule include matches against DC United, Chicago Fire and Kansas City Wizards as well as a trip to Spain . Three players from the club, Eddie Pope, Jonny Walker and John Wolyniec were this week called to the United States squad by head coach Bruce Arena.
