Diel Reon Spring (born December 26, 2000) is a Vincentian footballer who plays as a midfielder for North Leeward Predators and the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines national team.

Early years

Spring hails from the village of Chateaubelair.[1][2] His mother is a chef and his father is a construction worker while his grandparents were farmers.[3]

Spring led St Martin’s Secondary School to a junior division title in the 2015 Secondary Schools’ Football Competition, scoring a brace in the final.[4] The following year he was named best midfielder of the Barrouallie Football League under-17 division as a member of the North Leeward Predators youth set-up.[5]

He also participated in sports such as athletics and cricket.[3]

Club career

During the 2017 season in the second-tier SVGFF First Division, Spring helped the Predators finish the regular season undefeated and reach the championship final,[6] where he scored the opening goal of the match as they defeated Largo Height via penalty shoot-out.[7] He was nominated for Youth Male Player of the Year at the 2017 National Football Awards.[8] That same year, he and future international teammate Joel Quashie were chosen as the winners of a Caribbean Football Union- and Manchester United-backed skills-based competition for young talents, earning invitations to a talent development camp in Trinidad and Tobago.[2][9]

The next season, Spring captained the Predators to a runner-up league finish in the SVGFF Premier Division and a Knock Out Cup title.[10] He recorded a brace against Bequia United in week 10,[11] and repeated the feat against System 3 in week 17. He finished the season with a hat-trick in a 4–1 win against Largo Height on the final match-day. At the end of the year he was named Best Midfielder at the National Football Awards.[10][12]

In the summer of 2020, he signed a deal with Шаблон:Ill in the Polish III liga.[13][14] He admits his time at the club was not ideal, having only played a few matches due to injuries and other problems.[3]

On 26 July 2021, Spring moved to another III liga side, Podlasie Biała Podlaska.[15] Here he was coached by Rafał Borysiuk, brother of Ariel Borysiuk.[3]

International career

Youth team

In November 2018, he represented the national under-20 team at the 2018 CONCACAF U-20 Championship, playing in all five matches.[1][16]

Senior team

On 8 September 2018, Spring made his debut for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in the qualifying rounds of the 2019–20 CONCACAF Nations League against Nicaragua.[10] He came on as a halftime substitution for Wendell Cuffy in the 2–0 defeat at home. He was called up again later that month, earning his second international cap three weeks later during a friendly against a Barbados XI made up mostly of under-20 players preparing for the 2018 CONCACAF U-20 Championship. He came on after halftime yet again, this time for Brad Richards, in the 1–1 draw.[17] He made two further appearances in CONCACAF Nations League qualifying to finish the year.

In February 2019, Spring was named to the 20-man squad selected to play at the 2019 Windward Islands Tournament on home soil.[18] He played in all four matches as Saint Vincent and the Grenadines won their fifth title.[10][19]
