JamaicaPlayer Info
Garath McCleary is a Jamaican international winger with a career spanning over a decade in English football, most notably with Reading and currently with Gillingham. The pacey right-winger began his career at Bromley before moving to Nottingham Forest, but it was at Reading where he truly flourished, becoming a fan favorite after joining in 2012. He was instrumental in the Royals' run to the 2017 Championship playoff final, known for his direct running, dribbling, and ability to deliver dangerous crosses. McCleary has earned over 30 caps for Jamaica, representing his nation in multiple CONCACAF Gold Cup tournaments. His main honors include promotion to the Premier League with Reading in 2012. Now at Gillingham, McCleary's experience and trickery on the flank provide a vital creative outlet, as he uses his veteran savvy to influence games in League Two.
