Wayne Sobers (born 16 August 1969) is a Barbadian international footballer who plays for Notre Dame, as a defender.

Career

Sobers played for the Barbadian national team between 1992 and 2005, [1] which included nine FIFA World Cup qualifying matches. [2]

In 1994, Sobers had a trial with Scottish side Meadowbank Thistle along with his countrymen, David Alleyne, Llewellyn Riley and Horace Stoute. [3] Due to work permit restrictions, Thistle could only sign two of the Barbadians they had on trial. The club signed Alleyne and Stoute on permanent deals, and Sobers left Scotland without a contact. [4]
