Calaum Jahraldo-Martin (born 27 April 1993) is an Antiguan professional footballer who plays as a forward for Alloa Athletic on loan from Hull City.

Early life

Jahraldo-Martin lived in England, Antigua and Jamaica before moving to back to England to live in Harrow, at the age of 11. After missing a trial at Brighton & Hove Albion due to illness he joined FootballCV[3] and attended trials days at Rushden & Diamonds, Newcastle United, Brentford and Barnet. Following the trials days, Jahraldo-Martin received interest from Conference South side Boreham Wood and went on to sign for them.[4] During his time at FootballCV he received the FootballCV Academy Player of the Year Award.[5]

Club career

Jahraldo-Martin joined Isthmian League Division One South side Dulwich Hamlet in 2012 and during the 2012–13 season, scored 2 goals in 20 league appearances for the Greater London club as they went on to win promotion to the Isthmian League Premier Division.[6][7] His impressive performances resulted in a 2 week trial at Championship side Hull City in which Jahraldo-Martin played for the Hull City Reserves.[8] Hull manager Steve Bruce was impressed with the youngsters performance and signed him in March 2013.[9] On the transfer, Bruce said: "He's been a breath of fresh air and who knows, we might just have unearthed a little gem."[8] He made his Hull City debut in a League Cup match against League One side Leyton Orient on 27 August 2013, coming on as a substitute for Nick Proschwitz in the 67th minute.[10]

On 20 November 2014 he went out on loan to Tranmere Rovers until 1 January 2015.[11] He made his debut on 22 November 2014 in a 1–2 defeat at home to Southend United.[12]

On 27 January 2015, Jahraldo-Martin signed for Scottish Championship club Alloa Athletic on loan until the end of the 2014–15 season.[13]

International career

In late August 2014, Jahraldo-Martin committed to representing Antigua and Barbuda internationally[14] and joined the squad as they prepared for the first round of 2014 Caribbean Cup qualification.[15] Jahraldo-Martin made his international debut in Antigua's first match of the tournament, a 6–0 victory over Anguilla. He also scored his first international goal in the match, opening Antigua's scoring in the eighth minute.[16]
