Inter Miami CF has reached an agreement to extend the contract of midfielder David Ruiz, keeping him with the club until 2028, with an option for an additional year in 2029. Ruiz, 21, has made a significant impact since joining the Herons in 2023, contributing three goals and three assists across 52 matches, including 27 starts.
The talented midfielder played a crucial role in Inter Miami’s success, helping the team secure the Leagues Cup in 2023 and the Supporters’ Shield in 2024. Despite his promising start, this season has been challenging for Ruiz due to injuries, limiting him to just four appearances, including two starts.
Ruiz’s contract extension comes at a pivotal moment for Inter Miami, following recent retirement announcements from key players such as Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets. As the team navigates these changes, Ruiz represents a bright future and a commitment to developing homegrown talent within the club.
The renewal of Ruiz’s contract reflects Inter Miami’s strategy to build a competitive squad filled with young talent and experienced players alike. This blend of youth, as seen in Ruiz, alongside seasoned professionals, likely bodes well for the team’s aspirations in both domestic and international competitions in the seasons ahead. Fans can take heart in the focus on fostering talent, which is essential for the continued growth and success of the club.
