LEXINGTON, Ky. – Lexington Sporting Club announced on Tuesday the club had signed forward Tarik Scott to a multi-year contract ahead of the 2026 USL Championship season. The transaction is pending league and federation approval.

Scott joins Lexington having most recently spent time on loan with fellow USL Championship club Monterey Bay FC from FC Dallas at the conclusion of the 2025 season. The 20-year-old recorded one goal and two assists in nine appearances for the side, capping a season in which he also recorded five goals in 16 appearances for North Texas SC in MLS NEXT Pro.

“When I saw the offer come in, I was ecstatic,” said Scott. “I wanted to be a part of a new team that’s fighting to cement themselves in a new league. I can’t wait to get this year started and hopefully bring something home to Lexington.”

Scott had previously made eight appearances for FC Dallas across all competitions between the 2024-25 seasons after coming through the club’s academy system. He signed a homegrown contract with the club in 2022 and debuted professionally with its MLS NEXT Pro affiliate side, North Texas SC, where he recorded 10 goals and three assists to help North Texas capture the MLS NEXT Pro Cup in 2024 alongside his brother and current Lexington SC teammate, Malik Henry-Scott.

Scott’s standout 2024 campaign led to an MLS call-up, his first of two stints with FC Dallas’ senior team. He appeared four times for Dallas that season and four additional times in 2025.

At the international level, Scott earned a call-up to the Jamaican U-20 Youth National Team for a 2024 training camp in Trinidad and Tobago.
