In December 2013, it was announced that Christina was one of 23 top young Caribbean prospects to be invited to the inaugural MLS Caribbean Combine, a joint venture between Major League Soccer and the Caribbean Football Union with the objective of providing the young players with an opportunity to play in front of MLS scouts.[3] Following the 3-day event, Christina was one of only two players selected to participate in the MLS Combine from 10-14 of January in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, along with Stefano Rijssel of Suriname.[4]

He made his senior debut on 13 July 2012 in a match against Aruba in the tournament.[7] Christina was named to the squad again for the 2013 edition of the tournament.[8]
