Since then, he has become a key player on Inter Miami, making history as one of only two players to reach 100 appearances for the club.

“I’m really happy to sign a contract extension with Inter Miami. It’s a big honor and it motivates me even more to win trophies, which we are on the right track for. I hope to leave a good image and play here as long as I can,” said Taylor in a team press release Friday.

Inter Miami currently sits atop the MLS Eastern Conference at 16-5-4, with a league-high 53 points scored.

The team will face Club Puebla in the League’s Cup at 8 p.m. Wednesday at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
