Busby names Reggae Girlz squad for South Africa friendlies

Reggae Girlz head coach Hubert Busby has named his 23-woman squad for Jamaica's pair of international friendlies against South Africa set for November 29 and December 2 at the Catherine Hall Sports Complex in Montego Bay, St James.

Busby eyes the fixtures as a great opportunity for the Girlz to compete against quality opponents at home and is hoping to close out the year with positive results.

He said it is also important that the players are able to compete in Jamaica in front of their home fans.

"I think what's vitally important is for us to continue to have more matches when we can and when possible in Jamaica, not just Montego Bay, but obviously, in Kingston, over a long period of time.”

Jamaica last meeting with South Africa was a 1-1 draw in 2019.

Full team:

Goalkeepers: Rebecca Spencer and Liya Brooks.

Defenders: Allyson Swaby, Konya Plummer, Naya Cardoza, Vyan Sampson, Chantelle Swaby, Deneisha Blackwood, and Siobhan Wilson.

Midfielders: Atlanta Primus, Destiny Powell, Peyton McNamara, Jade Bailey, Drew Spence, Paige Bailey-Gayle, and Olufolasade Adamolekun.

Forwards: Khadija Shaw, Kayla McKenna, Davia Richards, Jody Brown, Shania Hayles, Shaniel Buckley, and Tiffany Cameron.
