Neil Benjamin Biography

Neil Benjamin is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on August 20, 1994 in Couva, Trinidad and Tobago. Neil Tevin Michael Benjamin, Jr. was born 20 August 1994. He is a Trinidadian professional footballer and plays as a winger at TT Pro League club W Connection.

Benjamin started his professional football career at 17 years old with W Connection in Trinidad and Tobago. Benjamin won the TT Pro League title two times and the FA Trophy in 2013-14 while playing for the Savonetta Boys.

Neil opened the 2013–14 season as a regular substitute for W Connection playing primarily as a right-wing forward. During the 2013–14 CONCACAF Champions League, Benjamin made appearances in each of the Savonetta Boys’ four group stage matches. On 8 August 2013, he came on for Mekeil Williams in the 62nd minute and later scored W Connection’s lone goal of the competition in a 3–1 loss to Árabe Unido. Two weeks later, Benjamin started in a scoreless draw at home against the Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer. During the match, Neil had two late match-winning opportunities with one “horrific” open net miss and another shot hitting the crossbar. Benjamin later had an impressive series of performances in the TOYOTA Classic and FA Trophy competitions. On 18 December, he was named the most valuable player of the FA Trophy final after scoring the tying goal to send the match into a penalty shootout and lead the Savonetta Boys to the club’s first FA Trophy crown in 11 years. Afterwards, Benjamin experienced a dip in form with his lone league goal scored on 10 January 2014 in a narrow 2–1 win over Police. He concluded his third season with W Connection with a string of substitute appearances to help lead the club to its fifth Pro League title and second in three years.

In September 2012, Benjamin traveled to Italy for a trial with Serie A club Genoa. During his first week, he drew serious interest from Genoa after impressing the club with his speed and had his stay extended. However, the trial proved unsuccessful and Neil was ultimately released to rejoin W Connection in November. Afterwards, Benjamin went on to enjoy an active second season with the Savonetta Boys after scoring four league goals and five in all competitions, including his first career hat-trick as a professional in a 4–0 win over eventual Pro League champions Defence Force on 6 May 2013.

Benjamin, at 17 years old, was promoted to the first team with W Connection of TT Pro League after several seasons playing in the club’s youth programs. Before making his professional debut with the Savonetta Boys in 2011, Benjamin and Shahdon Winchester, a former Naparima College teammate, were given a ten day trial with FC Dallas of Major League Soccer. Neil played in five league matches and participated in the club’s fourth Pro League championship. Benjamin was able to help W Connection finish second in the CFU Club Championship 2012 and secure a spot in the CONCACAF Champions League 2012-13.

Later, he scored the only goal in a 3-1 defeat to St. Augustine Secondary. This resulted in Naps being eliminated from the Intercol Big Five competition. Benjamin, who was playing for W Connection in the under-17 reserve league, was the joint-leading goal scorer with a total of 10 goals. He was also named the most valuable player in that league the next season.

His international career began during qualifying for the 2011 CONCACAF U-17 Championship. He made two starts in the Soca Warriors’ midfield against Cuba and Saint Kitts and Nevis. To help Trinidad and Tobago win their qualification group, he made another substitute appearance in the second half against Bermuda. Benjamin played in two consecutive matches against Guatemala and Jamaica during the continental competition. The Young Warriors lost 2-0 to Canada in the quarterfinals.

In August 2012, Benjamin made consecutive starts as a defender for the under-20 team during their first round of qualification for the 2013 CONCACAF U-20 Championship. However, he was forced to miss the Soca Warriors’ win against Saint Vincent and the Grenadines after receiving two yellow cards in each of the previous two matches. In November 2012, under-20 team managers Hutson Charles and Ross Russell complained to Benjamin’s parent club W Connection concerning the timing of the player’s trial with Serie A club Genoa and subsequent decline in form on international duty. As a result, Benjamin was left out of the squad for the team’s final round of qualification.
