Wide forward Thierry Gale is returning to the Barbados football team set-up for the first time in two years as part of a 17-member squad for the CONCACAF series in Bonaire.

Barbados will take on St Martin at the Antonio Trenidad Stadium in Rincon, Bonaire, tomorrow, March 26, before playing St Vincent and the Grenadines on Sunday, March 29, at the same venue.

Gale collected the last of his 16 caps in 2024 against Guyana in the CONCACAF Nations League Play-In, which the Tridents lost 5-3 (9-4 on aggregate) despite the 23-year-old’s brace on the night. The St Leonard’s Boys’ School graduate is having a productive season in the EFL League One for Bolton Wanderers, scoring five goals and creating two assists in 29 matches.

Joining Gale from England is Ipswich defender Leon Elliott, a 19-year-old right back who made 12 appearances in Division 1.

Also returning to the side for the first time in two years is winger Nadre Butcher, who is currently playing for Real Sport Clube SAD and scored 11 goals in 26 matches across all competitions this season.
