LEXINGTON, Ky. — Midfield maestro Blaine Ferri is back with the Greens in 2026.
The 25-year-old initially signed a 25-day contract with Lexington Sporting Club last July. Ferri immediately impressed, earning an extension and finishing the season as a mainstay in the Starting XI.
He started every match for Lexington from Aug. 1 through the end of the season, logging 13 appearances and finishing second on the club with four assists.
Ferri also created 16 scoring chances and won 60% of his tackle attempts.
“I’m very happy to be back in Lexington,” said Ferri. “I can’t wait to play in our stadium in front of these great fans again.”
Ferri began his soccer career in 2019 with SpVgg Greuther Fürth II, a German fourth-division club and reserve squad for the 2. Bundesliga side Regionalliga Bayern.
He then made the move to USL League One’s Fort Lauderdale CF in 2020 before signing with North Texas SC for the 2021-22 seasons. He made 40 total appearances for North Texas before jumping to the Championship with FC Tulsa in 2023.
In two seasons with Tulsa, Ferri logged 58 appearances across all competitions, recording two goals and five assists.
