Reggae Boyz star Leon Bailey has reaffirmed his long-term commitment to the national team while  advocating for improvements that will benefit future generations of players.Speaking at a celebration held in his honour at Villa Caileo in St Ann on Saturday night, Bailey said his passion for Jamaica remains as strong as ever, and stressed that his mission extends beyond his own playing career.“I love my country and, since 2019 when I accepted to represent Jamaica, there was never any turning back. For me, I'm always going to be on that journey until changes happen for the younger generation,” said Bailey.The winger highlighted the need for a better football environment for young players, including his two sons, and pledged to keep fighting for positive change while giving his all for the Reggae Boyz.“My two boys are now growing up and they love football. I hope that there is a better environment for them to be in, but I'll never stop fighting, showing up for my country, working, or stop giving 100 per cent to be able to see Jamaica making a World Cup and competing at the highest level,” added Bailey.Among those celebrating Bailey was his mother Jean Brown, partner Stephanie Hope, son’s Leo and Cairo, his agent Craig Butler, founder of Phoenix Football Academy, retired 100 metres sprinter Nesta Carter, government ministers and members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force.From Cassava Piece, Kingston, to the world stage, Bailey has netted seven goals for the Reggae Boyz in his international career.He has reached this milestone across 41 appearances since making his senior debut for the national team, continuing to make his mark on the international stage.With Jamaica’s failure to qualify for the World Cup, Bailey emphasised the importance of helping the island. For him, it is  a lifelong goal and a duty he takes seriously.“It’s always been a goal and dream of mine. I'll never stop fighting, and it’s an important duty for me that I take very seriously. Every time I wear that jersey, it means everything to me, and I will always give my 110 per cent until my career is finished” said Bailey. The 28-year-old said he is motivated by the opportunity to inspire the next generation of Jamaican footballers to achieve greater success.“It is important to me and that is what I've been working for, to be able to give the younger generation opportunities and let the world stage see more Leon Baileys,” said Bailey.“It is for them to be able to achieve their goals and try to be the next Leon Bailey, or even bigger, and that's what motivates me.”Bailey recently helped Aston Villa win the Europa League trophy and, despite some uncertainty about his future, he said he is fully focused on his current role at the club.“The next few years  are hard to tell (predict) because, in football, you just never know. But, honestly, I'm not too focused on that. I'm more focusing on the now, which is Aston Villa,” said Bailey.With Jamaica not at the World Cup, Bailey said he is cheering for Brazil and sees potential in France.“I've always been a Brazilian supporter but, unfortunately I was never one that watched football a lot. But I'll say France look like a very good team and they will possibly win the World Cup,” said Bailey.
