Onandi Lowe signs with Miami FC

Jamaican international Onandi Lowe is reported to have signed a 10 month loan deal with the United Soccer League's (USL) new franchise, Miami FC. The 32 year-old Lowe is an enormously talented striker and was a member of the historic World Cup squad that played World Cup 98. He has been one of the most controversial players to represent the Reggae Boyz in the last decade and has over 60 caps for Jamaica.

The 6 foot 3 Lowe's turbulent career has seen him represent a number of clubs in Jamaica, England and the USA. These included Coventry City F.C. (England), Rushden & Diamonds (England), the Kansas City Wizards (MLS), Port Vale ( England), Rochester Raging Rhinos (A-League), the Montreal Impact (A-League), Richmond Kickers, Arnett Gardens (Jam. NPL) and most recently Jamaican and Caribbean Champions, Portmore United.

In expressing his excitement with the prospect of playing with Miami FC in its inaugural season, Lowe thanked the former head of the Jamaica Football Federation, Captain Horace Burrell, for his belief in him as a person and a professional football player. He also thanked Portmore United for facilitating the opportunity with Miami FC. The new Miami FC franchise will hosts its first regular season USL first division home match against the Montreal Impact on Sunday, April 23. Read more in the forum
