I want to thank the members of staff for making me feel so welcomed from my first day on the job.  To the players: I thank you for the respect and absolute commitment you displayed. Please never give up.

Although the ultimate mission was not achieved, be sure to know that I gave my absolute best everyday in my role. I go away with my head held high knowing that my love and passion for my country is even stronger; it’s infinite.


I love you guys and I’m sure this story is only on pause. I will be supporting you guys from afar.

Thank you.
