Club career

Born in Carenage, Hyland began his career in 2007 with San Juan Jabloteh. In May 2007 it was announced that English side Portsmouth were close to agreeing a deal for the player.[4] In August 2007, Hyland went on trial with Scottish side Celtic, but a £450,000 bid from the club was turned down.[5] After he left San Juan Jabloteh in May 2008, Portsmouth were once again linked with signing Hyland.[6] However, the club's initial application for a work permit was rejected by the Home Office.[7] In September 2008 Portsmouth announced that they were still interested in signing Hyland.[8] Hyland had to wait for a work permit to join Portsmouth, and it was announced that he would move to the club's Belgian feeder club, Zulte Waregem.[9]

Hyland's loan move to Zulte Waregem was made official in January 2009,[10] but his future at Zulte-Waregem became unsure when both clubs decided to stop their partnership in June 2009.[11] Two weeks later it was announced that Hyland was now signed on a permanent basis.[12]

He signed permanently for Genk in August 2011.[13]

After playing for Saudi club Al-Faisaly, in September 2020 he signed for Al-Batin.[14]

International career

He made his full international debut in January 2008 against Puerto Rico,[15] and made an appearance against England on 1 June 2008.[16] Khaleem scored his first international goal on 7 June 2008 against Jamaica in a Friendly match at the Marvin Lee Stadium.
