Career

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. In August 2007, Hyland went on trial with Scottish side Celtic, but a £450,000 bid from the club was turned down. After he left San Juan Jabloteh in May 2008, Portsmouth were once again linked with signing Hyland. However, the club's initial application for a work permit was rejected by the Home Office. In September 2008 Portsmouth announced that they were still interested in signing Hyland. 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.
Hyland's loan move to Zulte Waregem was made official in January 2009, but his future at Zulte-Waregem became unsure when both clubs decided to stop their partnership in June 2009. Two weeks later it was announced that Hyland was now signed on a permanent basis.
He signed permanently for Genk in August 2011.

International career

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