Ian Charles Michael Fray (born August 31, 2002) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a defender for Major League Soccer club Inter Miami.[3]

Career

[edit]

Fort Lauderdale CF

[edit]

Fray made his league debut for the club on July 18, 2020, coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute for Modesto Méndez in a 2–0 defeat to the Greenville Triumph.[4]

Inter Miami

Before first match

[edit]

On January 26, 2021, Fray signed as a homegrown player with Inter Miami.[5] Fray suffered a torn ACL one month into his professional career.[6] During the 2022 pre-season, Fray suffered another ACL tear, bringing his second season with the senior team to a premature end.[7]

2023 season

As a result, Fray made his competitive debut for the club over two years after signing his homegrown contract, coming on as a 66th-minute substitute for Ryan Sailor in a 2–1 defeat to Nashville on May 17, 2023.[8] In June, he scored his first professional goal, netting late in a 2–1 defeat to D.C. United.[9] However, Fray's 2023 season would also be cut short, as he suffered a third ACL injury in the club's opening match of the 2023 Leagues Cup.[10] Ian Fray later won the 2023 Leagues Cup with Inter Miami, only playing the already mentioned match where he got injured, where he played 30 minutes. Fray played 2 matches in the 2023 U.S. Open Cup, including his second ever Inter Miami match, against Nashville.

International career

[edit]

Fray is eligible for both the United States and Jamaica.[11] His sister, Marlee Fray, represents the Jamaica women's national football team.[12] In June 2023, Fray was named to Jamaica's 50-man provisional squad for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[13]
