Club career

Born in Zaanstad, North Holland, and growing up in Paramaribo, Suriname, and later Almere, Flevoland, Blackson played youth football for SC Buitenboys and PEC Zwolle before joining the youth setup of Cambuur in 2015. He played for their under-21 team for one season, before being promoted to the first team ahead of the 2016–17 season, signing a one-year contract with the club in July 2016, with an option for an additional season.Blackson made his first-team debut on 9 September 2016, featuring for 90 minutes at left-back in a 4–1 Eerste Divisie win over Almere City.
Almere City
On 11 May 2017, Blackson joined Eerste Divisie club Almere City as a free agent. Commenting on the transfer, Blackson stated that it was a "boyhood dream" to play for the club, partly growing up in the town: "When I visited Yanmar Stadion with Cambuur in February, I even told Calvin Mac-Intosch about it. Now it's happening." He signed a two-year contract.He made his debut for the club on 1 September 2017, replacing Kees van Buuren in the 74th minute of a 2–1 league loss against Fortuna Sittard.
In March 2019, he extended his contract with Almere City until 2020, with an option for an additional season. In December 2019, Almere City exercised this option, keeping him at the club until 2021.
Blackson scored his first professional goal on 25 September 2020 in a 2–0 league victory against Helmond Sport, capitalising on a follow-up after Helmond's goalkeeper Stijn van Gassel had just saved a shot from Tim Receveur. He scored again two months later, on 15 November, a failed cross from 30 metres out which fooled Cambuur's goalkeeper Sonny Stevens in the ninth minute to equalise. Almere City went on to lose in humiliating fashion against Blackson's former side: 7–2.
