Nahki Wells

Early career

Wells was born in Hamilton. He began his career in his native Bermuda with the Dandy Town Hornets, a team he had first joined at the age of 12. Wells had a trial with Dutch club Ajax as a teenager; he was offered a contract but ultimately did not sign for the club. After spending the 2009–10 season with the senior team of the Dandy Town Hornets, scoring 20 goals, Wells spent the 2010 season in the USL PDL with the Bermuda Hogges, scoring 2 goals in 9 games. Wells later moved to England to attend the Richmond International Academic and Soccer Academy in Leeds, graduating in the academy's first year, and also played club football with local non-League team Eccleshill United. Wells underwent a trial with Carlisle United in November 2010, his second with the club. Before moving to the UK, Wells sought the advice of compatriot Shaun Goater. In December 2010, it was announced that Wells would sign for Carlisle United on 1 January 2011. Wells made his debut for Carlisle United on 15 January 2011, in a League One game against Bristol Rovers. In March 2011, Wells publicly announced his wish to play at Wembley Stadium with Carlisle United in the 2011 Football League Trophy Final, to be played in April 2011. However, Wells did not make the matchday squad, as Carlisle United beat Brentford 1–0. On 3 May 2011, it was announced that Wells' contract with Carlisle United would not be renewed at the end of the season.

Wells appeared in five 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches for Bermuda, against Barbados, Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago. Wells was described as "one of Bermuda's most promising players, with an exceptionally bright future" in February 2012 by then Sports Minister Glenn Blakeney, and was honoured by Premier Craig Cannonier in June 2013. He has been described as the country's "star footballer". In May 2019, he was named to Bermuda's 40-man provisional squad for the 2019 Gold Cup. Later that month, he was named to the final 23-man squad. At the tournament, Wells scored twice, netting goals against Costa Rica in a 2–1 defeat, and against Nicaragua in a 2–0 victory.
