Accra Hearts of Oak midfielder and former Black Stars player Laryea Kingston has reiterated that, playing at the Brazil 2014 World Cup in his biggest dream. The former Black Stars Player was a member of the senior national team since 2002. Well known as an uncompromising and hard-working player by fellow professionals, Kingston's determined style has occasionally caused him problems, most notably when representing the Ghanaian national side at the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations, when he was sent off during Ghana's 1�0 victory over Senegal following an altercation with Habib Beye. Both players subsequently received unprecedented 4-match suspensions, which resultantly ruled Kingston out of contention for the Ghana squad for 2006 World Cup. He was also excluded from the squad for the 2010 World Cup. He was a member of the squad during the qualifiers. Kingston returned to prominence for the Black Stars in February 2007 though, scoring in their 4�1 victory over Nigeria in London. �I don�t know what I�ve done to whoever is doing that, but if I�ve wronged anybody that person should forgive me�, he bitterly added. Laryea Kingston is currently playing for Accra Hearts of Oak and believes that with his current form, he will receive a national team call up. �All I dream for is to play at the World Cup before retirement. �My soul will not be at rest if I don�t feature at the world cup�, he concluded. Kingston started his career with local side Great Olympics, before moving to Libyan side Al-Ittihad Tripoli in 2000, on a loan deal. However, after only 4 months of this arrangement he returned to Accra, unhappy at his treatment in Tripoli, joining one of Ghana's traditional "Big Two", Hearts of Oak, in 2001. Two years later he moved to Israel, initially with Maccabi Ahi Nazareth. He was signed by Hapoel Tel Aviv, where he played until 2004. Russia was Kingston's next destination, where he joined Krylia Sovetov Samara, in the Russian Premier League. Kingston joined Terek half way through the 2005 season and later joined Lokomotiv Moscow on loan for the 2006 season. Kingston joined Hearts of Scotland on 25 January 2007 on an initial six-month loan deal. After his release from Hearts, Kingston moved to the Netherlands to sign for Vitesse, but was released in December 2010 after just six months with the club. Kingston, who had trained with his former club Hearts of Oak after his release from Vitesse, signed a two-year deal with Israeli Premier League side Hapoel Be'er Sheva on 13 July 2011. In the late January 2012, Kingston returned to Ghana for his former club Hearts of Oak, signing one and a half year contract. He has scored six (6) times in forty-one (41) appearances for the Black Stars.
