Luther Wesley Singh (born 5 August 1997) is a South African professional soccer player who plays as a winger for Serbian club Čukarički and the South Africa national team.
Prior to making his senior international debut in 2017, Singh represented the South Africa national under-20 team, with whom he won the Golden Boot award at both the 2016 COSAFA Under-20 Championships and the 2017 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.
Club career
Early career
Singh is an academy graduate of the famed South-African-based Stars of Africa football academy which he joined at the age of 11, after being scouted by Farouk Khan. Through the academy, Singh was afforded the opportunity to train in Brazil when he was 16 where he spent time with Vasco da Gama and Fluminense.
GAIS
Singh's success at the Stars of Africa academy caught the attention of numerous clubs and in 2015 Swedish second-division side GAIS signed him. In his first season with GAIS, Singh was employed as a winger and netted two goals in eight league appearances for the club before his season was cut short through injury. For the 2016 campaign, he was converted into a forward and scored the first professional hat-trick of his career on 22 May in a 7-0 win over Ängelholm. In July, the player confirmed that the Real Madrid B side and Swansea had previously been in contact with Khan, as his agent, over a potential transfer. GAIS rejected these advances, however, in a bid to hold on to Singh until his contract expired. In August of the same year, Singh rejected a move to Serie A side Pescara, claiming better options would become available to him once he was a free-agent. He ultimately made 28 appearances for the Superettan season and scored 9 goals as GAIS ended the campaign in eighth place.
Braga
Following the expiration of his contract with GAIS, Singh signed for Portuguese Primeira Liga side Braga on 21 January 2017. There, he teamed up with the club's reserve side who played in the LigaPro. He scored his first goal on 15 February 2017, netting the fifth in a 5–0 win over Vizela, and ultimately scored 14 goals in 52 appearances over the next season and a half.
Loan to Chaves
In January 2019, Singh joined fellow Primeira Liga side Chaves on loan for the remainder of the season. On 3 January, he made his debut for the club and was named man of the match for his performance in a 0–0 draw with Feirense. He scored his first goal in his third appearance for the club, netting the winner in a 2–1 league win over Tondela. He ultimately scored twice in seventeen appearances, but Chaves suffered relegation at the end of the campaign.
Loan to Moreirense
On 13 August 2019, he joined another Portuguese club Moreirense on a season-long loan.
Loan to Paços de Ferreira
On 21 September 2020, he joined another Portuguese club Paços de Ferreira on a loan.
Copenhagen
On 18 August 2021, Singh was picked up by perennial Danish frontrunner F.C. Copenhagen on a permanent transfer for an undisclosed fee. He made his debut on 22 August, coming on as a substitute for Mohamed Daramy in the 80th minute of a 2–0 win over SønderjyskE. In the UEFA Europa Conference League game against PAOK on 21 October, he came on as a half-time substitute, but was subbed off again before the final whistle. He was heavily criticized for his performance, with Danish commentators during the game saying that "he looks like someone who ate three burgers before coming onto the pitch". He was hospitalised in November 2021 after falling ill, something his agent later attributed to depression after being subject to criticism.
Singh joined former club Chaves on a season-long loan on 24 August 2022.
Singh was released from his Copenhagen contract on 1 September 2023.
