Dusty Good (born March 30, 1987) is a soccer player and captain for the United States Virgin Islands national soccer team, currently playing for New Vibes of the St. Thomas League.[4]

Good played college soccer for the Seawolves of Sonoma State University beginning as a freshman in 2006.[5] In 2006, Good traveled with the team to Europe to compete against academy sides of top clubs from Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. Good scored multiple goals in several matches, including a brace against ODB of the Netherlands.[6]

Club career

Good played for local USVI squads before moving to Europe to play for lower division sides such as FBK Karlstad in the Swedish Fourth Division. He first went to Sweden in April 2011 to meet the family of his Swedish girlfriend. He played several matches for Råtorps IK before having a successful trial with Karlstad.[7] He also had stints in the lower tiers of Denmark and England, for which his mother holds a passport.[8]

International career

Born in Cotati, California, Good moved to the US Virgin Islands in his late teens. He was asked to join a local team after being spotted wearing a Liverpool jersey in a local grocery store. He was soon asked to play for the United States Virgin Islands national team during 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification, despite being previously unaware that it existed.[8] He made his debut on October 7, 2011 in a 0–7 defeat to Haiti.[9] Good was one of only four players who returned to the squad for the 2018 World Cup qualification cycle and was named squad captain.[8]
