Inter Miami CF, the reigning Major League Soccer champions, have officially secured the services of Canadian goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair for the upcoming season. The agreement, disclosed on Sunday, also includes an option for the 2027 sprint season, which aligns with MLS transitioning to a summer-to-spring calendar.
St. Clair, who was named MLS goalkeeper of the year while playing for Minnesota United in the previous season, topped the league with an impressive 77.93 save percentage. He also achieved personal bests in saves (113) and shutouts (10) during that season.
The 28-year-old hailing from Pickering, Ontario, bid farewell to Minnesota fans in December following the expiration of his contract, amid rumors linking him to a move to Miami. In the last season, Argentina’s Oscar Ustari started 25 regular-season matches for Miami, while American Rocco Rios Novo took the field for the remaining nine fixtures.
Having been drafted by Minnesota through the 2019 MLS SuperDraft as the seventh overall pick from the University of Maryland, the six-foot-three, 193-pound goalkeeper has represented Canada in 18 international matches.
