Jamaican International Dane Kelly has received the first United Soccer League (USL) Golden Boot award of his career.
The Jamaican striker who is the leading all-time scorer in the USL, the second-tier tournament in the game in the United States, grabbed the award following another successful season of scoring for the Western Conference’s third-best side, Reno 1868 FC.
Kelly was one of three statistical awardees that the league announced following the conclusion of the regular season last Sunday.
The 26-year-old Kelly recorded a career-high season with 18 goals in the regular season, as Reno set a USL single-season record with 75 goals in its inaugural campaign. He also became the first player to surpass 50 goals in the USL since the league’s inception in 2011.
