Kellman likely to land pro contract at Kansas City II

Following a three-week tryout at the Club in the United States of America (USA), reports indicate that Guyana’s Curtez Kellman has impressed enough to bag a professional contract at Sporting Kansas City II.

Alex Bunbury Sport and Academic Academy (ABSAA Inc) is the major player behind Kellman securing the February 6-25 tryout at Kansas Sporting City II and even took care of the player’s travel and accommodation.
On Monday, in a brief statement, the ABSAA revealed that Kellman is close to finalising a contract with the professional club.
“The Alex Bunbury Sport and Academic Academy (ABSAA Inc) is pleased to share some exciting news surrounding Guyana national player Curtez Kellman, who has had a successful tryout season with Sporting Kansas City II. He is currently in the SKC II starting XI squad and played his first pre-season match on February 19, 2022 against Indy Eleven (USL Championship). And by all accounts, he had a great first half in that match,” the statement read.
According to further reports coming out of the ABSAA, the details of the contract are still being ironed out.
When contacted by this publication earlier this month for a comment on his tryout opportunity, the midfielder, who plies his trade locally with Western Tigers FC, shared that he intended to make the most of the opportunity, and hoped of opening doors for other young football players.
“I’d love to get the opportunity to be here, to be around the professional set-up for a very long time,” he told Guyana Times Sport.
“With this opportunity, I’d really be grateful I’d make Guyana proud, my family; and also it would be a big opportunity for me to create chances for other young, talented players back in Guyana.”
