The 18-year-old was handed her senior debut on Thursday, February 28, replacing Laura Jackson at half-time as the Reggae Girlz beat Chile 1-0 in a pre-World Cup friendly held at the Kingston National Stadium.
Jamaica are set to make their maiden appearance at the Women's World Cup this summer and have been pitted against Australia, Brazil and Italy in the group stage.

Her brother, Nathaniel Adamolekun has pledged his international future to Jamaica and is currently on the books of Portuguese setup Feirense.
