Yeovil Town winger Callum Harriott is on international duty with the South American country of Guyana, new pictures of the team’s training sessions have shown.
The 29-year-old, who arrived at Huish Park in March on a “short-term deal” which nobody has advised has yet expired,appears to be involved in the team’s training cap in Kingston, Jamaica.
The camp is preparing for a Gold Cup preliminary match against Grenada in Miami, Florida on June 17th which, in Guyana are successful, will see them progress to face the winner of the match between Guadalupe and Trinidad and Tobago for a spot in the last 16 of the Gold Cup.

Joining Harriott in training with the national team, nicknamed the Golden Jaguars, is former Glovers’ winger Keanu Marsh-Brown, who had a spell at Huish Park in the 2012-13 season. That campaign obviously turned out not to be a bad one, albeit Marsh-Brown’s contract was cancelled in January 2013.
Harriott arrived in Somerset as one of a number of players brought in under the ‘stewardship’ of SU Glovers, the group owned by Matt Uggla which failed in its attempt to take over the club from Scott Priestnall.
The ex-Gillingham and Charlton Athletic player made just three appearances, scoring once in the 1-1 draw at Aldershot Town on Good Friday, and made his last appearance on Easter Monday, when he appeared as a 62nd minute substitute in the 1-0 home loss to Dorking Wanderers.
He picked up a thigh injury in that match and was never seen again with manager Mark Cooper saying he had not seen the player at training, although he was named among the players retained by the club at the end of the season.
Callum Harriot has signed for National League side York City. He’ll know a couple of faces there; Zanda Siziba and Matt Uggla.
