So far this season, the Naperville native has logged four starts for Chicago Fire FC II in MLS NEXT Pro. In those appearances, he's recorded a victory, two clean sheets and 20 saves. During the 2020 season, Brady played on loan for Chicago Fire FC affiliate Forward Madison FC, where he became the team's starting goalkeeper and earned USL League One 2020 Young Player of the Year honors.
