In a much-anticipated return to international football, former Portmore United striker Maalique Foster and Tyreek Magee are set to join newcomer Jonathan Bell in the senior Reggae Boyz squad for an upcoming friendly match against Guatemala.
The highly-anticipated international friendly is scheduled to take place at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey on Saturday.
Maalique Foster, who currently represents Colorado Springs Switchbacks in the USL, last donned the Jamaican national team jersey in 2019 during Concacaf Nations League B action when he scored twice in a convincing 6-0 victory over Aruba in Willemstad, Curacao.

Tyreek Magee, also 24 years old, is another USL player with the Switchbacks, and he is making his return to the Boyz squad after a solitary appearance for the team last year.
Like Foster, Magee is keen to seize this opportunity and contribute to the national side’s success.
