The Downers Grove, Illinois native competed for Chicago Fire FC youth and PDL sides before signing with Aston Villa in the Premier League.
He competed for Lincoln City, Leyton Orient and Leeds United in loan stints before 173 appearances for Nottingham Forest from 2013-18. Lichaj signed a two-year deal with Hull City on June 22, 2018 and made 70 appearances for the Tigers.
Lichaj has been capped 16 times by the USMNT, last stepping on the field in a 1-0 international friendly win over Mexico in 2018.
