Sykes Garro (born 26 February 1993) is a Gibraltarian footballer who plays as a forward for Europa F.C..
Club career
After graduating from Northumbria University, Garro returned to Gibraltar in 2015 to sign for Lions Gibraltar, helping the side to a 4th place finish in the 2015–16 season. His performances for Lions attracted the attention of regular title challengers Europa, who signed him as one of a number of new Gibraltarian signings to bolster the squad ahead of the new season, in order to comply with new GFA rules on home grown players. He played 15 times, scoring twice, as Europa won the 2016–17 Gibraltar Premier Division.
International career
After impressing at Europa, Garro received his first international callup in November 2016. He made his debut for the Gibraltar national football team on 13 November 2016, in a 3–1 loss against Cyprus.[1]
