TSTT links up with Yorke

This will make TSTT the official communications provider for the Sydney FC midfielder/striker.

Yorke will also appear in various promotions for TSTT’s world-class communications solutions. The Tobago-born former Manchester United star played a crucial role in helping the Soca warriors qualify for the upcoming World Cup Finals in Germany.

"Dwight embodies a lot of what TSTT stands for. His leadership as one of the country’s top sportsmen combined with a world-class reputation has been a source of inspiration for our company in our aggressive pursuit of remaining Trinidad and Tobago’s leading communications provider," said Carlos Espinal, Chief Executive Officer of TSTT.

Espinal noted that the TTFF "Footballer of the Year" (2005) was, like TSTT, tried and tested. "Dwight is the go-to guy when you need effective results. We are thrilled with this agreement because he complements the high calibre of local artistes and sports personalities that work with TSTT and who share our vision for unsurpassed world-class performance," he said.

Speaking from Australia where he now plays for Sydney FC, Yorke said he is looking forward to a very rewarding relationship with TSTT. "My entire career has been about improving what I bring to my profession whether it is playing club football or national football for Trinidad and Tobago," the English Premiership "Carling Player of the Year" in 1999 said.

As the only West Indian with back to back to back FA Premier League titles to his credit, Yorke says, through football, he has been able to redefine himself time and time again.

"Fans want to see something different and better each time so I can also appreciate TSTT taking similar steps to transform and I am supporting them 100 percent," he said.

Espinal did not disclose any of the financial terms of the agreement but indicated that it was for a period of two years in the first instance because even beyond the World Cup, TSTT would want to work with Yorke.

"We would like to help create a legacy for Dwight that transcends the football field. People look up to him. They know the tough road he has travelled from simple fields in Tobago to the most renowned stadia around the world. We are as committed to him as he is to TSTT because we each know, for ourselves and for the other, that the best is yet to come," Espinal said.
