Brown, who was one of four youth players chosen for the DIGICEL Kick Start Clinic in Trinidad last year, is hoping to impress the coaches in the final sessions with a view of making his senior debut.
A native of River Sallee, St. Patrick’s, the Mc Donald College form four student has already caught the eyes of many including former England and Liverpool player, John Barnes.
Born 13th April 1998, this young player is no stranger to the local football circles, in his maiden game representing Grenada Under 17 in the CFU Preliminaries at the tender age of thirteen; Brown scored two goals for Grenada versus St. Vincent in the Caribbean Football Union, preliminary round in Guyana.
In his debut season for Hard Rock in the Grenada Football Association Premier League, the nippy right footer scored eight (8) goals for his club. He was also selected to represent Grenada in the Secondary Schools Tournament in Dominica last year where he scored against St. Lucia.
Brown when asked of international players he admires did not hesitate to identify Alexis Sanchez of Barcelona. He hope to follow in many of Grenada’s previous stars and has identified Grenadian International Jason Roberts currently playing for Reading FC and Clive Murray who recently secured a two year contract with Roi ET of Thailand as persons whose footsteps he would like to follow.
John has given much praise to his current club Coach Clarke John of Hard Rock FC in Grenada as well as Tyron “Pele” John a former national player and his cousin, as well as former Minister of Sports, Adrian Mitchell for his current success.
“I look forward to the day when, I will be wearing my national colours representing my country, but I am also eager to be the first home grown player to play in the English Premier League” the shy fourteen year old stated.
Who knows, someday not too long from now, we may very well hear of the Grenadian Shevon John Brown, playing on the international arena.
