MIAMI (March 8, 2021) – Inter Miami CF announced today that it has signed Lewis Morgan, the Club’s 2020 Most Valuable Player, to a new contract using Targeted Allocation Money (TAM) ahead of the 2021 MLS season.
“Lewis is a player who stood out in his first-ever season in MLS, not only for his performance on the field, but also positive attitude and willingness to be a team player at all times,” said Inter Miami CF Chief Soccer Officer and Sporting Director Chris Henderson. “We’re thrilled to sign him to a new contract and reaffirm our commitment to valuable players who contribute to the team and proudly represent Inter Miami.”
“I appreciate the opportunity that the Club gave to me as a player to come over here to a new league.

We know we have a talented group here and we’re looking forward to getting to work.”
