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

Fort Lauderdale CF

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

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

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]
