Sunny Jane

Youth

While living in Kentucky, Jane played for United 1996 FC in Louisville while earning All-State honors at Trinity High School.

College and amateur

From 2010 to 2013, Jane played college soccer for the Terrapins of the University of Maryland. His performance in the offense at Maryland, including appearances in every match during the 2012 and 2013 seasons and eight goals and 19 assists in four seasons, led to him being named the No. 10-rated recruit in the nation. At the time, it was strongly believed that Jane was one of only two Lesotho-born players to be playing college soccer in the United States, the other being Lepe Seetane who played for the Northwestern Wildcats and came to the United States and lived with the same host family as Jane. It was announced on 26 January 2011 that Jane was signed as one of the first 15 players to join the River City Rovers of the Premier Development League for their inaugural season in 2011. However, Jane never appeared on the roster for the season and did not make any appearances for the club.

Professional

United States

Following the 2013 season at Maryland, Jane was invited to participate in the MLS Combine in hopes of impressing Major League Soccer scouts and being selected in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft. However, he was not selected during the draft. After not being selected by an MLS club, it was announced on 24 February 2014 that Jane had signed a professional contract with Wilmington…

Jane represented his native Lesotho at the Under-15/16 and Under-18 levels. He trained with the U-18 team at age 13. He had also been called up to play for the U-20 and senior national team. However, Jane stated that he was waiting to make a decision on the future of his international career until after gaining United States citizenship and attempting to earn a call-up to the United States national team. In June 2014, Jane chose to represent his native Lesotho, making his international debut in a 2–0 victory over Liberia during 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualification. Jane started the match and played 60 minutes in the victory which saw Lesotho advanced to the second round of qualifying for the first time in history. About playing for Lesotho, Jane said, “It’s a good feeling...It’s really special. It’ll be a chance to see my family, so I’m excited about it.” His return to Lesotho for the match allowed him to see his family and friends for the first time in ten years since going to the United States. In July and August 2014, Jane was called up again for home-and-away qualifiers against Kenya. Jane went on to play in the first leg of the series, earning a start in the eventual 1–0 victory. In May 2015, Jane was called up to the Lesotho squad again to take part in the 2015 COSAFA Cup. Jane started Lesotho's opening match against Madagascar before being subbed off in the second half of the eventual 1–2 defeat.
