Kyle Brandon Butler (born January 15, 1998 in Kingston ) is a Jamaican soccer player .

Career

Butler came to Austria from the Phoenix All Stars Football Academy in 2011 to join the youth team at USK Anif , where he played until 2012. From 2016 he played in Belgium at KRC Genk , where he was not part of the professional squad. In January 2017 he joined the KVC Westerlo , where he did not play for the professionals either.

For the 2017/18 season Butler moved to Malta for FC St. Andrews . He made his debut in the Maltese Premier League in September 2017 when he started against the Ħamrun Spartans on matchday three of that season and was replaced by Innocent Tano Azian in the 60th minute .

After a trial session with the German Bundesliga club Fortuna Düsseldorf , Butler announced that he had signed a contract with the club in June 2018. This was immediately denied by Düsseldorf.

In August 2018 he moved to Austria to LASK , where he received a contract that ran until June 2019. However, he should initially be used for the farm team FC Juniors OÖ . In July 2019 he switched to the second division club SC Austria Lustenau , with whom he received a contract that ran until June 2020. Without commitment for Lustenau, he left the club prematurely in January 2020.

Personal

His stepbrother Leon Bailey (* 1997) is also active as a soccer player. Butler played with Bailey for Anif between 2011 and 2012 and for Genk between 2016 and 2017. In Belgium, however, in contrast to Bailey, he came to no professional missions.

His father Craig Butler attracted attention through dubious acts: he took Kyle Butler and Leon Bailey to KRC Genk in 2013 , where Bailey should have been signed. He then left his sons in Belgium and faked a kidnapping in Mexico .
