Painstil joined the Major League Soccer side as a Designated Player from Belgium giants KRC Genk for around $9 million, making his debut in the game against Inter Miami.
The 26-year-old has already hit the ground running, scoring a goal and providing an assist in three matches for the LA-based outfit.
Meanwhile, new Black Stars coach, Otto Addo will announce his squad for the friendlies this week.
The Black Stars will be hoping to quickly recover from a disastrous Africa Cup of Nations when they play rivals Nigeria on March 22.
