Anderlecht's Kemar Lawrence says Jamaican pros at a disadvantage in global space
Reggae Boyz defender Kemar “Taxi” Lawrence says his long-awaited move into Europe is yet another indication that Jamaican players have the stuff to compete at the highest professional level.
His last-minute move in a fast-closing transfer window last month to Belgian topflight club RSC Anderlecht puts another Jamaican international in the massive marketplace of European club football.
Lawrence, who transferred from Major League Soccer's (MLS) New York Red Bulls on a two-and-half-year deal, joined Boyz teammate and Charleroi FC striker Shamar Nicholson in Belgium.
For those who might have missed it, Jamaica midfielder/winger Leon Bailey also had his introduction to the global space when he distinguished himself at Belgium's Genk FC, before making a multimillion-dollar move to Bundesliga's Bayer Leverkusen where he remains a prized asset.
Lawrence argues that contrary to what some people may think, home-bred Jamaican players possess the talent, work ethics, discipline, and ambition to take them beyond and above the US leagues.

Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter. It gets even worse if they win the UCL. *groan*.
