Jayda Cheyni Hylton-Pelaia (born 30 May 1998) is a footballer who plays as a full-back for League1 Ontario club Woodbridge Strikers and the Jamaica women's national team. Born in Canada, she represents Jamaica at international level.
Early life
Hylton-Pelaia was born in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Her father, Gary Hylton, was born in Jamaica and lived there until he was a teenager and her mother, Tracy Pelaia, is Italian.[3] She began playing soccer at the age of eight with Brams United SC and joined the youth teams of Woodbridge Strikers while in high school.[4] Hylton-Pelaia attended St. Augustine Catholic Secondary School in Brampton, where she was a team captain and two-time most valuable player during her four years with the Falcons.[5]
College
Hylton-Pelaia attended East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, United States.[2]
International career
Although she was born in Canada, Hylton-Pelaia was also able to represent Jamaica, through her father, and Italy, through her mother.[3] She was first called up by Jamaica at the under-20 level, named to the squad for the 2018 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship.[6] Hylton-Pelaia made her debut in the lead-up to the tournament, starting a friendly against Costa Rica in January.[7] At the championship, she started the Group B finale and played the entirety of a draw against Nicaragua.[8]
Senior career, 2019–present
At the senior level, Hylton-Pelaia was called up for the first time at the 2019 Pan American Games.[9] She earned her debut senior cap in the Group A opener against Mexico and went on to play in every minute of the tournament as Jamaica finished in seventh place.[10] Following the end of the Games, head coach Hue Menzies said that Hylton-Pelaia "did well" and that she would be in consideration for future call-ups during the 2020 Summer Olympics qualifying process.[11]
However, due to injury and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hylton-Pelaia did not appear for Jamaica for three years. Her next call was for the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship.[12]
