TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Extension

Inter Miami CF have signed defender Ian Fray to a new contract through the 2028-29 MLS season, the club announced Thursday.

Signed as a homegrown player in 2021, Fray battled through three ACL injuries before enjoying a breakout 2025 campaign.

The 23-year-old posted a career-high five goal contributions (1g/4a) across 35 all-competition appearances last season, and was a starter in Miami's 3-1 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC that clinched the club's first MLS Cup presented by Audi title.

Fray was also a part of Inter Miami's Leagues Cup 2023 and Supporters' Shield 2024-winning sides.

“To continue this journey here feels amazing. This club has put so much trust in me for the last five years I’ve been here. Going through injuries, they kept their trust in me to sign a new contract and now we’ve won the MLS Cup, so I’m excited for next year,” said Fray.

“Coming from the academy, it means a lot to me, just to give more kids from here hope that they can make it to the first team and make it through to the next level. So for me to sign another contract here, it's exciting just to give more kids hope.”

Fray has parlayed his club ascent into a rising international career with Jamaica, earning his first three senior caps during 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying. The Reggae Boyz will participate in March's Intercontinental Playoffs for one of the remaining spots at next year's tournament.

In 2026, the Herons will defend their MLS Cup title at their new home of Miami Freedom Park. The club will officially open the 25,000-seat soccer-specific stadium on April 4 against Austin FC.
