Brent Dominic Rahim (born 8 August 1978) is a Trinidad and Tobago former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.
Rahim was born in Diego Martin. He played at the University of Connecticut, and was drafted to Los Angeles Galaxy in the 2001 MLS SuperDraft. He rejected the transfer and signed for Joe Public in his home country. He later played abroad, including a short spell in English club West Ham United where he was loaned to Northampton Town where he netted once against Queens Park Rangers in early 2003.
Rahim got 49 caps and scored 3 goals for the Trinidad and Tobago national team between 2000 and 2005.[1] In May 2005 he was left out of the national team by new coach Leo Beenhakker, but he was called up as a standby player to the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
