Scout report

Solid contributorGoalkeeper

C. Brady is a 22-year-old goalkeeper at Chicago Fire, rated 46.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 15th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer and 1301st of 2874 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (92.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Brady.

Judged on this season alone, Brady graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 42 of the 42 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer, on 5 clean sheets across 30 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 9). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, top 3% of the 42 goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer. At 22 Brady is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 8.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Brady missed 4 games through injury and 1 suspension (international duty) out of roughly 37 this season. The 30 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
