Chris Brady Named to BODYARMOR's 22 Under 22 List

Chris Brady, the 19-year old starting goalkeeper for the Chicago Fire FC, was voted as one of the top players in MLS under the age of 22. Brady was ranked number 17 on the list, and was the only goalkeeper on this list.

In his first full season as the starting goalkeeper for the Chicago Fire, Chris has appeared in 29 regular season matches, starting in all 29. He has 8 shutouts on the season, which ranks 7th in the league, despite playing less matches than those ahead of him. His 8 shutouts also tie him with current Chicago Fire goalkeeping coach Zach Thornton and Matt Lampson for 6th most in a single season in club history. Also with 91 saves on the season, Chris has recorded the most saves in a single season since 2014. 

Chris signed his first professional contract at 16 years old. He was voted the best goalkeeper at the 2022 CONCACAF U20 Championship held in Honduras, leading the USA to its third-straight CONCACAF title, its first Olympic berth since 2008 and a trip to the 2023 FIFA Under 20 World Cup. He did not allow a single goal during the 4-game knockout stage, only allowed 2 goals in his 6 starts, and was ultimately named the best goalkeeper in the tournament.

Congratulations to Chris on this great achievement!
