By Canadian Press on January 4, 2026.

MIAMI — Major League Soccer champion Inter Miami CF has officially signed Canadian goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair through next season.

The deal, announced Sunday, includes an option for the 2027 sprint season before MLS moves to a summer-to-spring calendar.

St. Clair won MLS goalkeeper of the year last season with Minnesota United after he led the league with a 77.93 save percentage and set single-season career highs in saves (113) and shutouts (10).

The 28-year-old from Pickering, Ont., announced his farewell to Minnesota fans in December after his contract expired, with several reports linking him to Miami.

Argentina’s Óscar Ustari started 25 regular-season games for Miami last season with American Rocco Ríos Novo starting the other nine.

St. Clair joined Minnesota via the 2019 MLS SuperDraft, taken seventh overall out of the University of Maryland. The six-foot-three, 193-pounder has won 18 caps for Canada.
