Lexington Sporting Club have officially confirmed the signing of Ghanaian midfielder Latif Atta Blessing for the 2025 USL Championship season, adding experience and pedigree to their ambitious squad.
Blessing, 28, first rose to prominence in the Ghana Premier League with Liberty Professionals, where his dazzling pace and goal-scoring ability made him a household name.
He enjoyed a sensational 2016 campaign, finishing as the league’s top scorer with 17 goals and winning the prestigious Ghana Premier League Best Player of the Year award.
His performances earned him a move to the United States the following year, joining Sporting Kansas City in Major League Soccer.
He quickly made an impression in MLS, helping Kansas City win the U.S. Open Cup in 2017 before being drafted by Los Angeles FC.
At LAFC, Blessing established himself as a key figure, amassing over 140 league appearances across five seasons.
He was instrumental in the club’s rise, contributing to the 2019 Supporters’ Shield triumph and playing a vital role in the historic 2022 double when LAFC clinched both the Shield and MLS Cup.
The Ghanaian later represented New England Revolution, Toronto FC, and Houston Dynamo, showcasing his adaptability as both a midfielder and an attacking option.
Now joining Lexington, Blessing brings a wealth of experience, championship-winning mentality, and creativity.
His arrival is seen as a major coup for the young club, signalling their intent to become a serious contender in the USL Championship.
