National footballer Jeremy Garrett is confident he would be able to make the final cut as he goes for another try-out with American team D.C. United.
The 18-year-old who has already donned senior national colours after being at the helm of the youth teams will depart these shores on Tuesday for the United States. It is a journey the young man hopes will be long-lasting, as he looks to make an impressionable impact to catch the eye of college scouts, or even those at the professional level.

Unsuccessful when he journeyed in December 2017, the Fruta Conquerors lad eyes a change in fortunes after working steadfastly on improving his fitness, but says he would try to keep it simple by playing “his brand of football” over the expected two months with the team.
Assisting the young prodigy on his career changing endeavour is his former Principal Henry Chase of Chase Academic Foundation.
On Friday, at the school’s Parade Street location, Chase made a donation to help offset some expenses, and noted it is a monumental occasion for the young player, whom he describes as being an example of a modern footballer.
Garrett would have captained his school to three Milo Football titles and two Digicel titles, after making an appearance in three finals.
