Little London stars resist big transfer offers

LITTLE LONDON, Westmoreland — Two student athletes at Little London High School, both recently called up to represent Jamaica at the national level, have declared they will not leave the institution that nurtured their talent — despite being bombarded with transfer offers, some of which allegedly include money, from competing schools.

“I’m not really fighting to go to a different school or caring if a school is bigger than ours, or if people say, ‘That school is dunce, and this school is bright.’ I’m not that type of person; I keep myself where I was spotted first,” stated Little London High football player Orlando Reid in an interview with the Jamaica Observer on Friday.

Reid was recently called up to the Jamaica Under-17 national team, and he and the school have already received 30 transfer inquiries for him.
