Parris gets NK Domzale loan move

Cavalier boss, Rudolph Speid, has high expectations of forward Kaheem Parris, who has officially signed to NK Domzale, former club of national striker Shamar Nicholson. But he believes how the young player adopts to his new environment, and his commitment to improving himself as a player will be key to his success.

Parris will sign a year-long loan with the Slovenian club and Speid said that Domzale is a great club for him to continue his development. However, he said Parris, whom he believes is one of the country's most talented players, will have to prove his value.

"Parris signed for Domzale, on August 30," Speid told STAR Sports. "He is going there initially for one year, and at the end of the loan period, they will assess if he has value and if they want to further the arrangement. So it's a pretty important time in Parris' life, his agent is really good and he will decide what will happen to him after the year stint - whether he will stay at that club or seek other opportunities. But he has a year to prove himself, so it's up to him."

However, he says with commitment and a strong work ethic, the player can follow in the footsteps of Nicholson and take his career to the next level.

Talented players

"The only thing with us Jamaicans is our work rate," Speid said. "He is easily one of the most talented players we have for the longest while, he reminds me of a Walter Boyd. So if he can get everything together, get the professionalism and keep focus, the sky's the limit for him, because he is no ordinary player. We will miss him, just like how we miss Nicque (Daley) and (Jamoi) Topey, but this is what we want for these players."

Speid noted that this is the third teenager the club has transferred overseas between last season and this, and for that reason he believes Cavalier is on the right track.

"Those three players went to the Gothia Cup (in Sweden) and played in the final in the Under-17 Elite B final, so we are pleased at the club to extend that capital for the players to get that type of exposure, and you can see that it has helped them in their development,' he said.

Parris received his international clearance from the Jamaica Football Federation on Monday. However, travel documents are still to be processed. As a result, his departure date is still unknown.

"The agent he has signed to is the same agent that Nicholson is signed to. So he is in very good hands and around people who can make things happen," Speid said.
