KINGSTON, Jamaica—President of the St James Football Association, Gregory Daley has been confirmed as the general secretary of the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF).

Daley, who was a vice-president of the JFF and chairman of the competitions committee, effectively replaced Dennis Chung, who resigned from the position last May.

In the interim, Roy Simpson, general manager of the senior men’s national team, had acted as general secretary, according to a release from the JFF on Monday, which also confirmed Daley’s appointment.

The release also quoted Michael Ricketts, president of the JFF, as saying, “I would like to personally welcome Gregory into this capacity. He brings a wealth of knowledge, and he has vast experience in football administration, and I’m very confident in his abilities. In relation to Omar McFarlane, he has been a great addition to the federation, and we are looking forward to him continuing the great work he has been doing.”
