He was next called up to the senior squad for a friendly against Turks and Caicos on 19 March 2021.[1] He went on to score his first senior international goal in the match, an eventual 2–0 victory.[6] Two month later he was part of the Barbados squad for 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification[7] but missed the matches through injury.[8]
