Vassell Reynolds has stepped into a pivotal role as the head coach of Harbour View FC, tasked with steering the club back to the pinnacle of the Jamaica Premier League (JPL). Since Ludlow Bernard’s departure in 2023, shortly after securing the JPL title, the club has faced a turbulent period, cycling through four head coaches in quick succession. Bernard’s unexpected replacement, Jason ‘Buju’ Henry, lasted only three months before being dismissed due to poor performances. Sydney McFarlane and Byjeon Thomas followed, but neither could stabilize the team, leading to Reynolds’ appointment in August 2025. Currently, Harbour View languishes in 12th place with just eight points from eight matches, including only two wins and four defeats. Reynolds, a seasoned coach with a distinguished career at institutions like Montego Bay United and Kingston College, acknowledges the monumental task ahead. He emphasizes the need for holistic development, not just at the senior level but across the club’s youth programs. Reynolds expressed his honor in leading such a historic club, highlighting Harbour View’s rich legacy, including five JPL titles and multiple cup victories. He remains optimistic, citing the club’s resources and player potential as key factors in their revival. Reynolds’ vision extends beyond immediate results, aiming to restore Harbour View’s status as a dominant force in Jamaican football through strategic planning and sustained development.
