Murray will flourish at Waterhouse – Bent

Waterhouse assistant coach Daniel Bent believes that Colorado Murray and Waterhouse Football Club will be a natural fit for each other after it was announced that the Tivoli striker had joined the Drewsland-based team recently.

Bent says that Murray not only fits the club's playing style perfectly, but that he eagerly wants to advance his professional career and believes that Waterhouse is the best club for him to do so.

In return, the club is convinced that Murray, last season joint-top scorer, can get them the goals they need to get over the hump locally and internationally.

"Colorado is a unique player. He is a young, humble player with good work ethics. Even before he moved to Waterhouse, we had conversations, and, based on his mindset of where he wants to go in his professional career. He thinks it would be as good place for him, and since he has been here, it has just been mprovement," Bent stated.

Murray was joint-topscorer last season with 12 goals, the same as Portmore's Javon East and his new teammate, Tremaine Stewart. "He will definitely add more goals to Tremaine's and others. He will push other players to improve, and the competition in the squad will also increase," Bent continued.

"But the very fact that Waterhouse has been to two different finals under two different leadership would have highlighted the fact that he wants to be among a championship-winning team. Other clubs would have gone after him, but he chose Waterhouse team, and based on how we play and the style we play, Colorado would have fitted in."

Bent said that at a recent practice game against St George's College (albeit schoolboys), the player looked right at home in their system of play, and he hopes that the player can start proving his quality as soon as the Concacaf League quarter final first leg against HS Herediano of Costa Rica on August 22.

"How he played in that game showed he fits the team well, and being that he has not played at this (international club) level before means he is raring to go in this competition, and when you are at the international level, anything can happen (for career), and he can make his mark there," Bent said.
