Style of play

Nicknamed "The Rock", due to his consistency, strength, and hard-tackling playing style, Jack stands out for his charismatic leadership and ability to organise his team's back-line and break down opposition plays. A quick, hard-working, tenacious, and powerful player, who excels in the air and at anticipating his opponents, he combines his aggression, stamina, and ability to read the game, as well as his physical, mental, and defensive skills, with a notable confidence and good technique on the ball, which also allowed him to play in the midfield throughout his career.

Personal life

Jack is born in Charlotteville, a village lying on the northeastern tip of Tobago. He is father of two children.
