West side club to great success over the last 3 seasons. Accomplishments include, winning the inaugural Stag Elite League 2016 competition and qualification for the 2017 CFU Club Champions, a feat never before achieved by Slingers FC.
Sadly Slingers FC along with Alpha United, Guyana’s only two professional football clubs, have been denied from competing in this year’s CFU club championship. This denial is alleged to have come after the Guyana Football Federation Inc. and CONCACAF ruled against Slingers FC and Alpha United’s participation in this year’s tournament despite both teams already formally being confirmed as qualifying.
This, a decision that the Guyana football fans players and coaching fraternity are united together on being extremely disappointed about.
Mills said, he is looking forward to this fresh challenge in his playing career with new club San Juan Jabloteh. Vurlon went on to confirm, a major part in him deciding to sign with Jabloteh. Was due to the TT Pro League club competing in this year’s CFU club championship, with the aim of continuing on to qualify for the CONCACAF champions’ league 2017.
Mills confirmed, “I am signing with San Juan Jabloteh to represent not only myself, but all the Guyanese players who have worked so hard to qualify but now have lost their opportunity of playing in the CFU club championship and beyond.”
“To all my football fans, I thank you for all the love and support you have shown me over the last few years I have played professionally for Slingers FC back home in Guyana.”
“Finally, I want to say a big thank you to all my family as well as Mr Henry Chase from Chase Academic Foundations and last but not least my friend Faizal Khan for supporting me all the way in making this deal a reality.”
Vurlon Mills is expected to make his Jabloteh debut this weekend against Central FC, with Central sitting at the top of the T&T Pro League with star players, including non-other than EPL legend Kenwyn Jones in their squad this season.

Super rich Mexican and American Major League Soccer Clubs await the qualifying Caribbean teams with David Beckham and Ronaldinho to name but a few of the World Class players who have played in the prestigious club tournament over the past few years.
