"Gary Griffith III was indeed included in my first squad to play Canada in February 2020 and would have made my starting eleven but for the cancellation of the fixture because of the COVID-19 pandemic. As an outstanding young player, I have no hesitation in providing this recommendation in light of this player's outstanding ability. Young Gary Griffith has been a role model to team-mates and youngsters around him and an exemplary professional showing enormous passion and commitment while representing teams in Trinidad and Tobago."

ABOUT ME
As a professional Soccer Player in Trinidad and Tobago, it’s a pleasure and an honor to represent the twin-island nation I call home. While I absolutely love training and competing, I like to think of myself as more than just an athlete. I’m working hard to be a positive role model to the youth of today by promoting physical activity, fair play, and building a legacy people will remember me for through The GIII Foundation .
