Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC News Release

PITTSBURGH - Riverhounds goalkeeper Jahmali Waite was brought in as a late addition to the Jamaican National Team ahead of the squad's final match in the current international window, a CONCACAF Nations League match again Mexico at 8 p.m. tonight in Kingston, Jamaica.

Waite, who started for the Hounds in their loss Saturday at the Charleston Battery, is expected to be one of two goalkeepers backing up Reggae Boyz starter Andre Blake. Blake is the longtime goalkeeper for the Philadelphia Union of MLS, where Waite was an academy player before beginning college in 2017.

Should Waite enter the match, it would be his first appearance for the senior national team of Jamaica. He previously represented the country at the Under-17 level.

The call-up is not expected to affect Waite's availability with the Hounds. He is scheduled to rejoin the team in training Thursday ahead of the Hounds' trip to face Rio Grande Valley this Saturday at 8:30 p.m.
