Bio
Yes, Jamaica does have a national team, and some kids do play football in the tiny island nation. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, this lad plays as a winger for Bayer Leverkusen.
Chippy didn't have it easy when he tried to make it as a professional in Europe. Playing for the Phoenix All-Stars Academy in Jamaica as a youngster, he traveled with his stepdad all over Europe to find him a club. Genk was interested but couldn't do much because of FIFA's rule on accepting minors. The Belgian labor ministry got involved, too, to deny him his opportunity. AS Trenčín offered him a chance to turn pro, and he took it. A transfer to Genk was always going to happen. He moved to the Belgian side in 2015. Winning the Belgian Young Footballer of the Year Award at the end of the 2015-16 season, he moved to the Bundesliga side in January 2017.
The only reason this Jamaican made it to the top is because of his talent. We know he'll continue to work hard to stay where he wants to.
