Goals, assists and heartbreak - Reid leads JPL in goals and assists but his team is fighting relegation
March 18, 2026
Despite leading the league in both goals (16) and assists (11), Harbour View frontman Trayvone Reid's production has gone without reward. On Sunday, he scored twice but his team lost 4-2 to Portmore United.
It's more than just the goals and assists, the former Kingston College star goes about his business with flair, class and effectiveness, real star qualities not common in the Jamaica Premier League.
However, unlike in 2022, when his goals and assists led Harbour View to their fifth title, this time around the club is fighting to avoid relegation.
However, although sitting second from bottom on 21 points, two more than Spanish Town Police FC and four adrift of Molynes United, Reid is fully confident in his team's survival.
"I'm on 16 goals and 11 assists and my aim from day one was to come back and do my best and see what happens.
"Personally, they (goals and assists) are good for me, but we are in a relegation battle right now. So it's not about me at this point. It's about the team and we have to do more work" he said.
Harbour View''s goalscoring exploits (35) this season rival the top seven teams in the JPL, with Reid and Rohan Brown (11) two of the top marksmen in the league.
However, they have the second worse defensive record, with 55 goals conceded from 27 matches. Only Spanish Town Police have a worse record (63).
The third worst defensive team in the league, Treasure Beach, have conceded 14 goals less than the former champions.
Against Portmore, Harbour View made two glaring defensive errors that led to goals and Reid believes they have to be stronger at the back.
"For sure (we would like the defence to be better), but we just need some dominance at the back, if we had that, we could have won a lot more games," Reid said.
Harbour View have competed in the nation's top-flight uninterrupted for the past 31 years, since they returned to the then National Premier League in 1995.
The 25-year-old Reid, who is fully aware of the club's prestigious history in local football, has no doubt they will remain in the league.
"For sure we will be staying up. We just need to get the defence right and we will win games."
In recent matches, coach Lenworth Hyde has moved the winger to the centre of the attack and although this is not his natural position, he is willing to sacrifice for team, especially in their current situation.
"It's more about using my experience. It's the brain that plays football and as you have seen I got two goals (on Sunday), so it probably can work." he commented.
