National Under-23 forward, Trent Lougheed is determined to win a first team spot with Joe Public in the T&T Pro League after opting to join the “Eastern Lions” on a one-year deal rather than take up a scholarship at University of Connecticut and University of Denver.
“I’ve been working very hard because I intend to get into the first team at Joe Public. I haven’t had that chance as yet this season,” said Lougheed who missed the Fifa Under 20 World Cup because of injury.
“I decided to join Joe Public because I wanted to keep playing at the senior level and get some experience as a professional. I had offers from UCONN and Denver but Joe Public was the option I went for instead.
I think it will help me because I’m closer to the national team being based at home and hopefully this will help me as an international player as well,” Lougheed added.
