The Inter Miami roster contains several soccer superstars as well as a number of unsung heroes.
Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Sergio Busquets regularly catch the headlines, but Inter Miami’s recent success can also be credited to some so-called lesser-known names – including the likes of Drake Callender.
Having recently reached over 100 appearances for the Herons, Callender has become a mainstay in the Inter Miami first-team over the past few years.
The shot-stopper played a big role in the club’s Supporters’ Shield success, so much so that Kieran Gibbs highlighted Callender’s importance when it comes to winning trophies.
Despite his recent success at the Chase Stadium, not much is really known of Callender outside of Miami – so here is all you need to know about the Herons number one.
