Harrisburg, PA - Keasel Broome joins the Islanders this season following a season with the New York Cosmos and the Barbados national football team in 2015.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Broome was selected in the 3rd Round of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft by the San Jose Earthquakes but was ultimately not signed. On April 1, 2015 Broome signed with NASL club New York Cosmos.
YOUTH EXPERIENCE
Before his professional debut, Broome attended Providence College, where he captained the team in 2014. That same season he played every minute of every game for the Providence Friars, securing a 2-1 win over Xavier in the Big East title game and subsequent NCAA triumphs over Dartmouth, Cal-Irvine, and Michigan State.
INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE
Broome was called up by the Barbados national football team for the first time in March 2015 but was unable to accept due to injury. He was called up again in June 2015 for Barbados's 2018 World Cup qualification matches against Aruba.
Broome made his international debut in the first leg of the qualification series on 10 June 2015, posting a shutout as Barbados won 2-0.
