FALMOUTH, Trelawny — Village United’s utility player Lance Laing is confident he will be playing in the United Soccer League (USL) Division One later this season after what he described as a successful try-out last month.

The 22 year-old Laing told the Sunday Observer last Wednesday that he thought he did enough in the three weeks stint to get recalled.

“It was a good trials. I think I did enough and they were happy with what they saw of me,” he said.

Laing played just 28 minutes in Village’s 2-1 win over Harbour View in their Digicel Premier League game at the Elliston Wakeland Centre on Wednesday, being substituted by Cordel Simpson after spraining his ankle.

The former William Knibb Memorial and Harbour View player who plays both left-back and left midfield for Village, described the experience as “a positive one… the professionalism that I saw there is very high, nothing like what we see here”.

He told the Sunday Observer that he was not signed as the team already had their quota of overseas players and he would have to wait until later.

Among the overseas players on the Battery’s roster is Jamaican defender/midfielder Obrien Woodbine, who represented Reno in the Western Confederation Super League earlier this season.

Woodbine, who played just 16 games last year, starting 11 of them because of a broken leg suffered in the pre-season, is in his second year with the South Carolina-based club.

Charleston Battery will start their season on April 17 away against Charlotte Eagles.
