Club career

[edit]

Dublin began his career in his native Antigua and Barbuda with Hoppers FC, before moving to Trinidad and Tobago with Joe Public. He was part of the Joe Public side which won the TT Pro League title in 2006. He moved to Tobago United in 2007, but spent just one season there before returning to Antigua to play for Hoppers in the Antigua and Barbuda Premier Division.

In 2011, Dublin transferred to the new Antigua Barracuda FC team prior to its first season in the USL Professional Division. He made his debut for the Barracudas on April 17, 2011, in the team's first competitive game, a 2–1 loss to the Los Angeles Blues.[1] He captained the team.[2]

As of 2018, he had returned to Hoppers.[3]

International career

[edit]

Nicknamed Sowa, Dublin made his debut for Antigua and Barbuda in an April 2000 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Bermuda and has earned over 30 caps since. He played in 9 World Cup qualification games,[4] and was part of the Antigua squad which took part in the final stages of the 2010 Caribbean Championship.
