Why Patrick Doody is on this page

Patrick Doody (born 22 April 1992) is an American retired professional soccer player who spent his career in the Major League Soccer system as a homegrown product of the Chicago Fire. Born in Naperville, Illinois, he came up through the Chicago Fire Academy across three seasons before going to Indiana University, where he made eighty-six appearances for the Hoosiers, scored six goals, recorded twelve assists, and helped lead Indiana to a College Cup title in 2012. During his college years he also turned out in the Premier Development League for the Chicago Fire’s U-23 side.

He signed his first professional contract — a homegrown deal with the Fire — on 22 December 2014 and made his senior debut the following spring on loan to United Soccer League affiliate Saint Louis FC, in a 2-0 defeat to Louisville City FC. Across the 2015, 2016 and 2017 seasons the Fire repeatedly renewed his contract option while sending him out on loan to Saint Louis, with Doody making no senior appearances for the parent club before his recall in July 2017. He retired shortly afterwards.
