For­mer play­ers and team-mates Earl Jean and Reynold Car­ring­ton have re­turned home to their for­mer team W Con­nec­tion for the 2010 Pro League sea­son. The two who cap­tained the Savonet­ta-based team for the bet­ter pat of their ca­reers, have joined the tech­ni­cal staff with the aim of bring back the league ti­tle to the club. The pair will func­tion as as­sis­tant coach I and as­sis­tant coach II to tech­ni­cal di­rec­tor and head coach Stu­art Charles Fevri­er, who they played un­der.

Jean de­part­ed W Con­nec­tion last sea­son to be the head coach of Cli­co San Juan Jabloteh af­ter Ter­ry Fen­wick was re­lieved by the team be­cause of fi­nan­cial chal­lenges. How­ev­er, Jabloteh fired Jean af­ter a tro­phy-less sea­son that saw the team fin­ished sec­ond in the lead and did not re­tained any of the ti­tles won in 2008. Fen­wick was re-hired. Bri­an Williams, who served along­side Fevri­er last sea­son, has tak­en over the Un­der 18 team for the 2010 sea­son. Ash­ton Mills who has worked with San Juan Jabloteh, has al­so joined the tech­ni­cal par­ty.

Mills, a li­cenced Sports Ther­a­pist was al­so in­volved in the Na­tion­al Foot­ball Pro­gramme at the se­nior, Un­der 23 and Un­der 20 lev­els. Con­nec­tion has not re­tained ten play­ers from last sea­son in­clud­ing An­dre Tou­s­saint and Mar­vin Phillip both of whom have signed with reign­ing league cham­pi­ons Joe Pub­lic. Al­so, Do­mini­can Re­pub­lic strik­er Jonathan Frias, the team's 2009 top goal-scor­er has fi­nalised a loan trans­fer agree­ment with Puer­to Ri­co Is­landers in the Unit­ed States Soc­cer League (USL). Coach Fevri­er said that for the 2010 sea­son W Con­nec­tion will sport a team dom­i­nat­ed by lo­cal­ly breed play­ers.

The "Savon­net­ta Boys" who have on­ly gone af­ter two play­ers in St Lu­cians Zaine Pierre (mid­field­er) and Ver­nus Ab­bott (de­fend­er), have in­di­cat­ed that they will be look­ing to their youth play­ers who have come through the sys­tem to fill any void left. Con­nec­tion won the Caribbean Club Cham­pi­onship and the Pro League–Lu­cozade Goal Shield last year, while plac­ing run­ner's up in the TTFF FA Cup and fourth in the Dig­i­cel Pro League.
