Inter Miami CF, the current Major League Soccer champions, have officially inked a deal with Canadian goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair for the upcoming season. The agreement, which was made public on Sunday, includes an option for the 2027 sprint season as MLS transitions to a summer-to-spring schedule.
St. Clair, who clinched the title of 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.
Having bid farewell to Minnesota fans in December following the expiration of his contract, the 28-year-old hailing from Pickering, Ontario, had been rumored to be headed to Miami. Last season, Miami primarily saw Argentina’s Oscar Ustari in goal for 25 regular-season matches, while American Rocco Rios Novo started the remaining nine games.
St. Clair’s journey in MLS began when he was selected seventh overall by Minnesota via the 2019 MLS SuperDraft after his collegiate career at the University of Maryland. Standing at six feet three inches and weighing 193 pounds, St. Clair has represented Canada in 18 international matches.
