Inter Miami CF announced today it has signed forward Ryan Carmichael on a short-term agreement from the Club’s MLS Next Pro team Inter Miami CF II.

The 22-year-old native of Northern Ireland made 22 starts, leading Hofstra with 17 goals and recording five assists. Throughout his collegiate career, the forward made 75 appearances, tallying an impressive 46 goals and 18 assists. Carmichael was instrumental in helping Hofstra secure their third consecutive NCAA Championship title and finishes as Hofstra’s second all-time leading scorer.

Additionally, Carmichael earned the Goal of Matchweek 4 honor after securing over 50% of the poll vote for his exceptional strike against Huntsville City FC in April.
