Macey replaces Parris in Golden Jaguars squad ahead of Dominica clash

The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has made a late adjustment to the Golden Jaguars squad in the Dominican Republic, with forward Chris Macey replacing Reiss Parris for the upcoming CONCACAF Series fixtures.
The change was confirmed on Tuesday morning, just days before Guyana’s senior men’s national team begin their two-match international friendly series. The Golden Jaguars are scheduled to face Dominica on March 27 and Belize on March 30 at the Estadio Cibao.
GFF Communications Officer Renata Burnette confirmed that Macey joined the team in the Dominican Republic on Tuesday as well.
Originally named among a group of five first-time senior call-ups, Parris, who recently featured at the Under-20 level, has now been withdrawn, making way for Macey’s inclusion.

Several debutants remain in the set-up, including goalkeeper Grant Wyles, midfielder Shemar Scott, defender Walker Shabazz-Edwards and locally-based winger Bryan Wharton. Wharton and Shabazz- Edwards, like Parris, have been transitioning from the youth ranks after recent involvement at the U-20 level.
They will be supported by seasoned campaigners such as Akel Clarke, Liam Gordon, Terence Vancooten, Nathan Moriah-Welsh, Elliot Bonds, Omari Glasgow and Kelsey Benjamin, all of whom are expected to provide leadership and stability during the series.
The fixtures form part of the officially-sanctioned Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) Series, a developmental initiative aimed at providing competitive opportunities for teams not currently engaged in the FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers. For Guyana, the matches offer a valuable opportunity to assess squad depth and integrate new players into the senior programme.
