Career

Club career

Born in Carenage, Hyland began his career in 2007 with San Juan Jabloteh. In May 2007 it was announced that English side Portsmouth were close to agreeing a deal for the player.^[3] In August 2007, Hyland went on trial with Scottish side Celtic, but a £450,000 bid from the club was turned down.^[4] After he left San Juan Jabloteh in May 2008, Portsmouth were once again linked with signing Hyland.^[5] However, the club's initial application for a work permit was rejected by the Home Office.^[6] In September 2008 Portsmouth announced that they were still interested in signing Hyland.^[7] Hyland had to wait for a work permit to join Portsmouth, and it was announced that he would move to the club's Belgian feeder club, Zulte Waregem.^[8]

Hyland's loan move to Zulte Waregem was made official in January 2009,^[9] but his future at Zulte-Waregem became unsure when both clubs decided to stop their partnership in June 2009.^[10] Two weeks later it was announced that Hyland was now signed on a permanent basis.^[11]

He signed permanently for Genk in August 2011.^[12]

International career
