Hyland grateful outstanding salaries paid

SAUDI Arabia-based TT football captain Khaleem Hyland has issued greetings to the local football community and expressed gratitude to the normalisation committee for fulfilling its commitment to members of the senior men’s team on outstanding salaries.

Hyland and other members of the senior team received payments earlier this week for past international matches under ex-head coach Dennis Lawrence.

“I just want to say thanks to everyone who played a part in getting the players their outstanding match fees before the Christmas season,” Hyland told TT Football Association media. The normalisation committee “are also working at the moment on fixing some other things ahead of the new year. We hope we can move forward from here all together and make a better future for everyone in our football,” added the ex-Racing Genk player.

Hyland said he has been liaising with normalisation committee chairman Robert Hadad over the payment of salaries.

“I have been in contact from day one with Mr Hadad to make this happen and he promised to give the guys the money once the problem was resolved and now we can say he made it happen and thanks again to him and the committee.”

Hyland took the opportunity to wish TT a safe and happy holiday.

“I am still in Saudi Arabia longing to be with my family who I haven’t seen for so many months. The situation here is not the best with the pandemic because of recent developments but we are coping. I want to wish everyone back home, persons in the FA and generally all my family the best for the season. Continue to stay safe and enjoy the rest of the year as best as you can. There is hope ahead, so let’s work towards a better year in 2021,” Hyland said.
