‘Arnett is a big club’ - Assistant coach Dicoy Williams promises title after first win in four games
January 07, 2026
Having picked up their first win in their last four games, Arnett Gardens assistant coach Dicoy Williams is confident they can turn their fortunes around and promised the club's first title since 2017.
"This year, we're promising you guys that we're going to bring home the trophy," Williams declared.
Arnett endured a rough start to their Wray and Nephew-sponsored Jamaica Premier League (JPL) campaign, picking up just 12 points in their first 10 games, registering six defeats along the way.
In fact, their 3-0 win against Cavalier on Monday was their first in their last four games, having lost back-to-back games to Montego Bay United and Molynes United, as well as a 1-1 draw with Racing United.
Williams insisted their poor run of form is behind them, as he is confident they can put together a strong run of performance in the second round.
"Two games, four points," Williams said. "I think that is good enough to start the second round. It's just climbing from here, and we're just catching our footing. I believe in the team; I believe in the boys and I think we'll get the job done this season.
"It's football. You have teams that go on runs and hopefully, this is our run and this is our form. I have said that what happened last year, leave it behind and focus on this year and so far, it has been going good."
IMMEDIATE IMPACT
With the transfer window open, Arnett are expected to make a number of signings to help bolster the team's roster and steady their season.
Williams, while declining to speak on specific transfer targets, said they are only eyeing player they feel can have an immediate impact at the club.
"We're looking at players who can come and help the team right away," the assistant coach insisted.
"Arnett is a big club and when we're struggling, we have to look at players to come in. Hopefully, the players who come in can play their part and pick up on what we have going on."
He continued, "We have a momentum. We're not looking for players to come and sit on the bench."
Williams said they will need the fans' support behind the team, and has made a impassioned call for more fans, particularly at home games.
"It's a new year and we have started a new beginning," Williams said.
"I hope every Sunday or Monday night, whenever we have our games, they can come out and support the team and just believe in the team. It's a young team, they're learning and still growing, but we need the fan support, we need the stadium to be filled."
Arnett's next outing will see them hosting Harbour View at the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex.
The Junglists currently sit eighth in the league's standing with 16 points, level with Waterhouse and Molynes United, who sit ninth and tenth on goal difference.
Harbour View sit 12th on 14 points, just two points above the relegation zone.
