Town defender Janoi Donacien made his international debut overnight for Saint Lucia in a 3-1 CONCACAF Gold Cup first preliminary round defeat to Martinque at the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.

The 29-year-old played the full 90 minutes in midfield for the country of his birth, who are managed by former Blues striker Stern John.

Donacien is Town's second Saint Lucia international, the Caribbean island's all-time top scorer Earl Jean having spent a short spell with George Burley's Blues in 1996/97, making one sub appearance without finding the net.
