Ian Charles Michael Fray (born August 31, 2002) is a professional footballer who plays as a defender for Major League Soccer club Inter Miami. Born in the United States, he represents the Jamaica national team.[2]

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.[3]

Inter Miami

Before first match

[edit]

On January 26, 2021, Fray signed as a homegrown player with Inter Miami.[4] Fray suffered a torn ACL one month into his professional career.[5] During the 2022 pre-season, Fray suffered another ACL tear, bringing his second season with the senior team to a premature end.[6]

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.[7] In June, he scored his first professional goal, netting late in a 2–1 defeat to D.C. United.[8] 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.[9] 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.

2024 season

[edit]

On October 26, 2024, Fray suffered an injury to his right medial meniscus that ruled him out until early 2025.[10]

Fray made his full international debut for Jamaica in October 2025 in World Cup Qualifiers versus Curaçao and Bermuda. [14]
