Bailey and Caelan Cadamarteri discuss Jamaica camp, Wrexham move and Nigeria test

Bailey Cadamarteri says he was delighted to learn that his brother, Caelan Cadamarteri, had also been included in Jamaica’s squad, calling the chance to travel and train together a welcome moment for the family.

Bailey said the news caught him off guard because he had not been aware of all the details before seeing Caelan’s name on the call-up list. Once he realised they would be in camp together, he said it made him happy to have his brother alongside him.

Caelan said his early days in the national set-up have gone well, with the young player getting used to new teammates, staff and training demands. He described the environment as different from what he is accustomed to, but said he has enjoyed the challenge and the opportunity to work with the group.

Bailey also reflected on his club season with Wrexham in Wales, saying the move had been positive despite him not receiving as much playing time as he wanted. He noted that he had gone from a team fighting relegation to one pushing for promotion, which made it harder to break into a winning side. He said he is now focused on next season and what may come next.

Asked about the influence of Bailey and their father, Caelan said both have helped shape his football path. He said having them in front of him as players made the game feel like a natural part of his life from birth.

Looking ahead to Saturday, Bailey said Jamaica would face a Nigeria team likely to offer strong quality. He said Jamaica had a good match against India but could have done more after scoring only two goals, adding that the Nigeria fixture should help bring out more from the squad as they try to win the tournament.
