National striker Junior Flemmings has signed for Birmingham Legion FC in the United Soccer League (USL).
The 24-year-old Flemming, one of the USL’s top goal-scorers, won’t be in the lineup for the team’s first two matches of the 2021 season. Instead, the USL Championship’s 2020 Golden Boot winner will be completing a league-mandated suspension.
The USL imposed a six-game suspension on the Jamaican for directing “foul and abusive language in the form of a homophobic slur” toward an opponent (Collin Martin) during the Phoenix Rising FC-San Diego Loyal match on September 30.
After the incident, San Diego co-owner and coach Landon Donovan, the former US men’s national team and MLS star, asked that Flemmings be removed from the game. When he wasn’t, San Diego walked off the pitch, resulting in a forfeit victory for Phoenix.
