LEXINGTON, Ky. – Lexington Sporting Club announced the official signing of Cori Sullivan to the inaugural USL Super League roster pending league and federation approval on Friday, July 5th.
Sullivan, one of the most experienced members of Lexington’s inaugural Super League roster, most recently played for Glasgow City FC in the SPWL 1 Women, the top-flight of women’s soccer in Scotland.
With Glasgow City, Sullivan helped the team to a third-place finish, sitting just behind Rangers and Celtic, the two largest clubs in Scotland and two of the largest in the United Kingdom entirely. She finished as the 2023 SWPL Sky Cup top scorer (11 goals) and made Team of the Week twice.
Despite the third-place finish, joining a squad that won the league one year prior, Sullivan was able to suit up for play in the UEFA Women’s Champions League qualification, besting Shelbourne FC from Ireland and FC Gintra from Lithuania before falling in the final round versus Norway’s SK Brann.
Prior to her move to Scotland, Sullivan suited up for Cruz Azul FC in the Liga MX Femenil, the top-flight of women’s soccer in Mexico.
Before beginning her professional career, Sullivan began her career the same place many do in the United States: in college.
Sullivan began her collegiate career with the Arizona State Sun Devils, scoring goals in the NCAA Tournament and being named Pac12 Offensive Player of the Week in 2021.
She then entered the transfer portal and finished her career with the Washington Huskies, also in the Pac12.
Lexington SC will kick off its first ever USL Super League season on August 25 away at Carolina Ascent FC before hosting its home opener on September 8, facing the Tampa Bay Sun FC.
“I am honored to join Lexington SC in this inaugural season. It was an easy decision to make after meeting the staff and hearing the vision for the team. Something special is being built here. I am excited to represent Lexington and inspire future generations.” said Sullivan.
