PITTSBURGH – The Pittsburgh Riverhounds announced on Monday they have signed Jamaican forward Kenroy Howell to a one-year contract with a club option for the 2018 season, pending league and federation approval.

Howell, 23, comes to the club via a transfer agreement between the Hounds and Waterhouse FC of the Jamaican National Premier League.

A native of Manchester, Jamaica, Howell started his professional career with Waterhouse in 2013-14. The forward starred for the club over three seasons, notching 15 goals in total, including a career-high 10 in 2015-16.

His career year caught the attention of C.D. Dragón of the Primera División in El Salvador, as he was sent to the club on loan this past July for the remainder of 2016. At Dragón, Howell, who made 16 appearances in total for the club, notably netted his first goal in a narrow 2-1 defeat against the Portland Timbers at Providence Park in the CONCACAF Champions League in August.
