The Chicago Fire Soccer Club announced today that it has traded
defender Tim Ward to San Jose Earthquakes in exchange for a conditional
selection in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft. Per MLS and club policy, terms of the
trade were not disclosed.
“We would like to thank Tim for his contributions to the Chicago
Fire and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors,” said Fire
Technical Director Frank Klopas. Ward, a six-year veteran, was drafted by
New York MetroStars as the 12th overall selection in the 2005 MLS SuperDraft.
Since joining the Fire in 2009, the Waukesha, WI product has tallied three
assists in 25 appearances with the Fire.
