Inter Miami CF, the reigning Major League Soccer champions, have officially inked a deal with Canadian goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair for the upcoming season. The agreement, made public on Sunday, also includes an option for the 2027 sprint season, anticipating the league’s transition to a summer-to-spring schedule.
St. Clair, who clinched the MLS goalkeeper of the year title last season while playing for Minnesota United, topped the charts with a remarkable 77.93% save rate. He also achieved personal bests in saves (113) and shutouts (10) during the season.
At 28 years old, hailing from Pickering, Ontario, St. Clair bid farewell to Minnesota fans in December following the expiration of his contract, amidst speculation linking him to a move to Miami. In the previous season, Argentina’s Oscar Ustari featured in 25 regular-season games for Miami, while American Rocco Rios Novo started the remaining nine matches.
St. Clair initially joined Minnesota through the 2019 MLS SuperDraft as the seventh overall pick from the University of Maryland. Standing at six-foot-three and weighing 193 pounds, he has earned 18 caps for the Canadian national team.
