Midfielder Marvin Oliver has rejoined Adam's Construction San Juan Jabloteh four months after being axed by then coach, Englishman Terry Fenwick.Back then Oliver, a former club captain and player/assistant coach was axed from the club for his participation in a BGT&T/Counselor Zoff Celestine sponsored Tyro Sports Club Bourg Mulatresse League back in March.
Since then, Fenwick and Jabloteh have parted ways and under new coach and former national goalkeeper, Earl "Spiderman" Carter he has been given another chance at the club.Both parties have agreed on a contract for the 2011-2012 Digicel T&T Pro League season which kicks off on August 19.
Carter who coached Oliver during the early 90's in the New York Caribbean Tournament with Team T&T USA said, "Marvin is a good player. I could see the leadership in him and all that he has demonstrated in training (with Jabloteh) is positive. And he has assured me that he will work in the best interest of the team."
The 36-year-old Oliver won the 2007 Toyota/Pro League Player of the Year with then club Caledonia before making a shock move the following year when he joined neighbouring rivals Jabloteh.Last year he was warned by Fenwick for involvement in minor-League as a professional player.He was fined and temporarily stripped of the captain's armband for appearing as player/coach in the Bourg Mulatresse League.
At the time Fenwick said, "I rapped his knuckles and told him he needs to be more responsible."But in March 2011 following Oliver's sacking, Fenwick said, "It's unfortunate. He took the chance and paid the price as a consequence."Oliver is a guy that I have great respect for and wanted to prepare him for coaching because at 36, he was coming to the end of his playing career. He will give a good fight in every game but the discipline isn't there.
"And it doesn't matter who you are, if you don't have discipline than you can't fit in."Oliver has another chance at his hometown club and coach Carter has an entirely different remedy.
