Reggae Boyz defender Ian Fray is set to continue his journey alongside global superstar Lionel Messi after signing a new contract with MLS Cup champions Inter Miami CF, extending his stay through the 2028–29 season with an extension option for the 2029-30 campaign.
The defender initially signed his contract as a Homegrown Player in 2021, and subsequently missed the 2021 and 2022 seasons due to long-term injuries before returning to action in 2023. But his resilience paid off in a standout 2025 campaign, where he delivered one goal and four assists across 35 matches in all competitions.
Fray played a crucial role in Miami’s historic run this season, including a starting assignment in their 3–1 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps on December 6 — a result that secured the club’s first-ever MLS Cup title.
His impact in Miami predates this season’s triumph. The 23-year-old was part of the squad that lifted the Leagues Cup in 2023 and the Supporters’ Shield in 2024. To date, the Academy graduate has racked up 66 appearances for Inter Miami across all competitions, recording four goals and four assists.
“To continue this journey here feels amazing, this club has put so much trust in me for the last 5 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.”
On the international front Fray made his senior Reggae Boys debut against Curacao in October. He has registered three appearances for Jamaica to date, all of them in Concacaf Final Round Qualifiers to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
