BUFF BAY, Portland — Confidence in the St Georges SC camp is soarring, especially with the return of their young, but talismanic striker Dever Orgill to Lynch Park for Sunday’s kick off the Digicel Premier League where they will face Boy’s Town.

Orgill, who has won many accolades as both a local and overseas-based player, has returned from the Vancouver Whitecaps in Canada where an auspicious professional career away was dogged by injuries.

Two knee surgeries in quick succession did not help the young player who has been a standout for Jamaica at the youth level.

Now he’s back at his old club, promising great things for the new season.

“I am looking forward to playing for St Georges as I am from the parish… I have played professionally and want to add that here… I think I will add to the team’s attack and the training has been good,” Orgill said.

St Georges assistant coach, Raymond Gordon, is pleased with overall preparations so far and eagerly awaits the new season. “The training has been going well so far, the intensity has been stepped up over the last three weeks and we are looking to give a good account of ourselves,” he said.

“We have maintained most of the senior players and they are raring to go. We have four new players including Orgill who has that strength and touch up front that I think we were lacking in the latter part of the season. With his addition, I think the goal-scoring situation will be sorted out somewhat and we hope that the other guys will come into their own and produce some goals for us,” Gordon added.

He noted that much is expected of another forward, Romeo Parkes, who “is energetic, vibrant and have some skill”.

Other new signings are Horace James, Dwayne Silvera, Ronique Anderson, Anthoniel Williams and Ralston Robinson.

With the new signings, old stalwarts like Damion Harwood, Girvon Brown, Donovan Davis, Danian Reid, Jermaine Taylor, Ricardo Taylor, Dwayne Holmes, Andre Thomas, Leon Irving, Ushane Dobson, Omar Davis, Delroy James, custodians Randal Huie and Romaine Bowers will be heavily relied on to take the Portland side above their fourth-place finish last time out.

“We We are aiming to be right there in the top six and higher as a title contender this season to win the cup,” ended Gordon, who assists Braxton Hyre.
