In­jured De­fence Force and So­ca War­riors winger Kevon Carter said he is mo­ti­vat­ed to re­turn to the play­ing field next sea­son fol­low­ing his team's League Cham­pi­onship win. De­fence Force cel­e­brat­ed the 2010-2011 Dig­i­cel Pro League Cham­pi­onship af­ter a 0-0 with San Juan Jabloteh car­ried it to an unas­sail­able 38 points. This was fol­lowed by a 3-0 win over St Ann's Rangers in its fi­nal league match on Fri­day. It is the first time since 1999 that the "Teteron Boys" had won the League and added to its pre­vi­ous na­tion­al ti­tles of 1972-78, 1980, 1981, 1984, 1985, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997. An elat­ed Carter said, "My team win­ning the ti­tle gives me more mo­ti­va­tion to re­turn next sea­son," said Carter, who was part of his team's cel­e­bra­tions on Fri­day.

"That alone is ther­a­py for me in re­cov­er­ing to re­turn next sea­son. I'm re­al­ly ea­ger to re­turn to the pitch."

The 27-year-old at­tack­ing play­er has been side­lined since last Oc­to­ber af­ter suf­fer­ing a bro­ken leg in the quar­ter­fi­nal round of the First Cit­i­zens Cup un­der a chal­lenge from Eli­jah Bel­grave. Carter is back on his feet and be­gan ther­a­py two weeks ago un­der the care of phys­io­ther­a­pist, Fleet Chief Pet­ty Of­fi­cer David Cum­ber­batch. "I've be­gun ther­a­py with Chief Cum­ber­batch who is do­ing a great job in get­ting me back to strength. So I ex­pect that I'll be back to full match fit­ness in three to four months in time for next sea­son," said Carter.

Carter went on to give de­tails of his roller­coast­er ride while his team charged on for the ti­tle. "It was very emo­tion­al pe­ri­od for me sit­ting at side watch­ing the boys win the ti­tle. "I was a bit ner­vous as well when we dropped some points. Re­mem­ber, we haven't won a league ti­tle in 11 years, so there were some ner­vous mo­ments but as sol­diers we re­mained strong and held our­selves to­geth­er. "We have to thank God, be­cause with­out him noth­ing will be pos­si­ble. And in say­ing that I knew the team would have worked hard to bring this ti­tle home for me as well.

"I'm very hap­py. This bunch has been work­ing very hard in the past years and it's re­ward­ing now that we have won the ti­tle. Carter went on to add that his team will grow from strength to strength on it's League Cham­pi­onship and re­cap­ture it next sea­son. In ad­di­tion De­fence Force strik­er De­vorn Jorsling al­so cap­tured his sec­ond Pro League Gold­en Boot award for scor­ing the most goals, 15 to add to his 2009 ac­co­lade.
