Club CareerLaurent Ciman, a Belgian defender, currently plays for Los Angeles FC and the Belgian national team. His football journey began in Belgium, where he initially joined Charleroi. In 2008, he switched to Brugge on a three-year contract but faced limited playing time, leading to a loan move to Kortrijk.

Ciman's impact in MLS was immediate. In his debut season, he was named MLS Defender of the Year and earned a spot in the MLS Best XI. He also made his mark as an MLS All-Star in 2015 and 2016.
Los Angeles FC
In December 2017, Ciman was traded to expansion club Los Angeles FC in exchange for Raheem Edwards and Jukka Raitala. He has since established himself as a vital member of the LAFC defense.
