After wrapping up his duties with U.S. Men’s National Team, Chicago Fire midfielder Dax McCarty arrived in preseason camp on Tuesday to participate in his first training session with his new team.
His arrival signified the end of what had been a very unique January for the 29-year-old, who got married, made a long-awaited return to the U.S. National Team setup, and was traded unexpectedly from the New York Red Bulls to Chicago all in a matter of days.
In the more immediate, Tuesday also marked the beginning of his tenure under head coach Veljko Paunovic and a new opportunity in the Windy City.
