JOHNNY GRANT INCLUDED IN GUYANA SQUAD FOR CRUCIAL GOLD CUP PRELIMINARY TOURNAMENT
The York United FC defender has been an important addition this season.
York United FC defender Johnny Grant has been included in the Guyana squad for their upcoming 2023 Gold Cup preliminary
games in Fort Lauderdale.
The 29-year-old, who has proven to be an astute signing for Martin Nash this season, was previously involved with the team
in March and started both CONCACAF Nations League games - the 2-0 win over Bermuda and a 0-0 draw against Montserrat
- that booked their place in this stage of the tournament.
On June 17th, Guyana face Grenada in the first round. A victory will see them advance and meet either Antigua & Barbuda
or Guadeloupe in the second round, with a place in Group D and a meeting with Canada at BMO Field on June 27 the ultimate reward.
Grant - a three-time Canadian Premier League champion - is in a rich vein of form with The Nine Stripes. He's appeared
in the team's last five games and started the last three as the club racked up 13 points from a possible 15 over the past
few weeks and even sat proudly at the top of the CPL standings following last Friday's home win over Atletico Ottawa
at York Lions Stadium.
