Club career
[edit]Nicknamed "Jair", he started his footballing career at high school, winning the Triple Crown as a captain with Camperdown High School.[2] Cargill also played for local sides Swallowfield FC, CC Lions, Hazard United and Harbour View and also spent 8 years in Israel with Maccabi Netanya and Hapoel Petah Tikva. The versatile player returned to Jamaica in 1996 and was called up to the Jamaica team.
International career
[edit]He captained the Reggae Boyz and was a participant at the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France. He collected a total of 84 caps and scored 3 times.
Personal life

Like his World Cup team-mate Stephen Malcolm and Jamaican legend Winston Anglin, Cargill was killed in a road accident. He died of severe injuries in Saint Ann Parish while on his way to a football match against Wadadah in Montego Bay when the minivan he was travelling in overturned and struck a boulder head-on.
