Kyle Lavince Lightbourne (born September 29, 1968 in Bermuda) is a former footballer and cricket international player. He is currently coach of the Bermuda national football team, for whom he played for 24 times[1], and of the USL Second Division team Bermuda Hogges (for whom he also still occasionally appears as a player).
His international cricket career was less notable, consisting of 5 ICC Trophy games, during which he took 11 wickets at an average of 16.81 [2].
His football career was based in England. He signed for Walsall in 1993, and was a prolific striker who played a key part in their promotion to Division Two in 1995. By the time he was sold to Premier League side Coventry City for £500,000 in 1997, he had scored 83 goals in 198 games. He also played for Stoke City and several other clubs.
In 2007, Lightbourne joined Shaun Goater as part of the management team of USL team Bermuda Hogges playing 200 minutes, over 6 games, without scoring.
