Early life

Scipio showed promise as a young player by winning a skills competition for primary schoolers which was sponsored by the National Bank of Anguilla. [2]

Club career

As of 2020, Scipio played for Roaring Lions FC of the AFA League. [3] He was named Man of the Match for his performance against Docs United FC in August. [4] The team went on to win the championship that season. [5]

International career

Scipio represented Anguilla at the youth level during 2007 CONCACAF U17 Tournament qualification. [6] He made his senior international debut on 21 March 2021 in a friendly against the United States Virgin Islands. He made his competitive debut six days later in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification loss to the Dominican Republic. [1]

Personal life

Scipio has also caught the attention of fans on social media for his distinctive ankle length dreadlocks. [8] Scipio's locks are so long that he wears an elastic band around his waist while playing to keep his locks secured to the back of his body, which in turn keeps them out of his way while playing, and prevents them from being pulled, stepped on, or whipping other players during matches.
