Alvas Powell Joins David Beckham’s Inter Miami
Reggae Boy Alvas Powell has joined David Beckham’s newly formed Major League Soccer (MLS) club Inter Miami FC.
The 25-year-old defender leaves FC Cincinnati to join the club. During the 2019 MLS season, Powell made 13 appearances for FC Cincinnati, including 10 starts.
