Jabloteh footballers capture Wolfe brothers

The Wolfe brothers hail from Manzanilla and both started their professional careers at North East Stars, spending four years at the Sangre Grande club.

In recent times they have attracted the attention of Trinidad and Tobago team coach Leo Beenhakker.

Anton, a 22-year-old striker has impressed coach Beenhakker and kept in the national squad as a reserve striker on the "Journey to Germany."

Glenton is a talented left back, just 24 years old and made his mark in the T&T Pro League playing with North East Stars and has also caught the eyes of Beenhakker.

Jabloteh’s coach Terry Fenwick was instrumental in the signings and admitted, he has always been impressed with the Wolfe brothers.

"They have always impressed me. I have always liked them and I am very much in favour of pushing younger players who are talented and focused on their football careers," said the former England internaional.

"Anton is an unselfish centre forward, that can be lethal in and around the penalty area. I think he has great potential," he said.

"As for Glenton, I think he has great ability. He is also a left-sided player which is an added advantage as he is a-no-nonsense type defender," Fenwick said.

Anton is delighted at the opportunity.

"I really feel good about the move, I think its for my betterment. I am honoured to be attached to one of the best teams in the country, and I hope I can improve my chances of making the national team and be on plane to Germany for the World Cup," he said.

Glenton is also seeing the move as a progressive one. "While I enjoyed my stay at North East Stars, sometimes you just have to move on and I see this move to Jabloteh as a step in the right direction as it may open up bigger and better possibilities in terms of attracting trials in Europe," he said.

When contacted Jabloteh Director Toussant Boyce said the team was happy to bring the players on board.

"We are elated to have the Wolfe brothers with the club. Jabloteh is committed to the objective of being the premier club in the CONCACAF Zone. It is important to that thrust that we continue to search for and develop the best local talent available," Boyce said.

The Wolfe brothers undoubtedly fall into that category and will be in a strong squad alongside Angus Eve, Kerry Noray, Kerry Baptiste, Josh Johnson, Nigel Daniel and Keyeno Thomas among others.

"As you are aware we have qualified for the CFU Champions Cup and hence we will be playing international club football this year. Together with the World Cup coming mid-year, this coming season will be very exciting for all of our players," Boyce said.

"At Jabloteh, our search for the best young talent never stops. Our youth teams dominated league and cup competitions last season because they are taught football excellence by talented coaches. We are very serious about unearthing and developing youths. It is very important that people understand that our club is rooted in San Juan but belongs to the people of Trinidad and Tobago," the Jabloteh official said.

"Every talented young player from any part of the country should be able to look at Jabloteh and see us as a route, as an opportunity to play football at the highest level locally and eventually internationally," Boyce said.
