Rampersad, 28, has become a mainstay in the national team program under head coach Angus Eve, playing in nine of his country’s ten matches in 2023. 

The Halifax midfielder made his debut on March 24 this year in a Nations League match against The Bahamas. He scored his first international goal on June 29 in a Gold Cup match against Jamaica.

For the Wanderers, Rampersad is the club’s all-time appearance leader (117) and appeared in 19 matches during the 2023 season, registering two assists.
