KINGSTON (CMC):SIDELINED [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]Reggae[/COLOR][/COLOR] Boy, Sean Fraser, is set to play in the Mexican league next season, following two impressive seasons in El Salvador's premier league.
Fraser is expected to sign with second division club, Pumas Morelos, in Mexico's Ascenso MX League, when the January transfer window opens.
The 28-year-old Jamaican is considered one of the most feared strikers in El Salvador's Primera Division, playing for his club Alianza.
"It doesn't get better than Mexico in the [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]CONCACAF [COLOR=blue !important]region[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] because I don't have enough caps to play in England. I have got offers to play for Coventry City before and I couldn't take the offer because I wasn't available to get a work permit because of lack of playing for Jamaica," Fraser explained.
"So I have to look elsewhere where I can ply my trade and so on, but for that offer that I have for Mexico, I think it's a better offer than all that I have had so far and it's a good league. A lot of good players play in Mexico."
Fraser created history by becoming the first Caribbean player to win the Golden Boot in Central American soccer, after finishing as the top scorer in El Salvador premier league with 15 goals last season.
However, his prolific goalscoring could not prevent Alianza from losing in the finals in a penalty shoot-out.
Fraser's last game with the [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]Reggae [COLOR=blue !important]Boyz[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] was in May when he played 10 minutes against Guyana in [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]Montego [COLOR=blue !important]Bay[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] after being sidelined for three years.
He says he is confused, but does not intend to worry over his exclusion from the national set-up.
"I don't know what the problem is because wherever I go I keep performing. I keep scoring goals. I am past the stage where I worry if Jamaica is going to call me," said the former [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]Harbour [COLOR=blue !important]View[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] and Portmore United player, who has also plied his trade in North America, Trinidad and Tobago, Puerto Rico and Brazil.
"Obviously, I would love to play for my country...but I am not going to worry about that anymore. I have passed that stage. If they call me I go without a doubt, but if they don't call me what can I do? I just have to stay and play my club football."
Fraser is scheduled to leave Jamaica tomorrow for Mexico.

How many caps does he have?

[Jangle]

I've always asked about this guy. Why isn't he called more often to the national side? I would think that playing and consistently performing and delivering the goods in these foreign leagues must account for something. Mosiah what's your thoughts?

[Sir X]

Mexico is a good move , pity Div 2 , but I see him rising to the Mexican La liga MX...best Salaries some say in the Americas, granted its controlled by media gustapo big whigs.

[Mosiah]

I believe he was in camp prior to a WC qualifier or the Caribbean Cup just recently. He did not make the cut.

[Jawge]

Would love to hear why. I wish him all the best. He seems to be a hard worker.

[Jawge]

ah well.

[TheDread]

I believe he was in camp prior to a WC qualifier or the Caribbean Cup just recently. He did not make the cut.

I don't believe he was called up for the CC, but he should have. If I recall correctly, he has good first touch, vision, and can play at a very fast pace. Lets see how he does in Mexico...

[Mosiah]

And I believe you are right. He was not called recently.
