Foster represented Portmore United in the Premier League before he was sold to Costa Rican club Liga Deportiva Alajuelense two years ago. He played for Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona in the Israeli Premier League last season, before being released.

A wily player, Foster has had nine caps for Jamaica while finding the back of the net four times.
