Newcomer Chris Brady makes key early save in Forward Madison FC’s goalless draw with Richmond

Brady is expected to split his weeks between training with Chicago and Forward Madison. He found out Tuesday he’d be going on loan and trained Thursday and Friday with his new teammates, some of whom he remembered from last year.

“Coming into a new team, one of the hardest things is getting to know the new guys,” Brady said. “For me to know the back four already it makes my job a lot easier.”
