Midfielder

Chad Deering

6' 1"

The biography of retired USMNT soccer player Chad Deering who started his career in the Bundesliga before joining the Dallas Burn.
Caps: 18 | Goals: 1

Chad Deering earned his American soccer pedigree playing in Germany in the early 1990s. The Texas native was a key member of the Dallas Burn of Major League Soccer. Deering was a versatile two-way player who tracks back defensively and pushes forward into the offense with equal comfort. Known for having one of the hardest shots in all of MLS, he was one of the top choices to take free kicks for both club and country. Deering is now a director of youth soccer for a club in the Dallas area.
