The Chicago Fire added to their retooled roster with the addition of veteran midfielder Nick LaBrocca, the club announced on Wednesday.
LaBrocca was a free agent coming off a three-season stint with the Colorado Rapids, and was signed on a one-year contract with a club option for the second year.
"Nick's experience, versatility and comfort on the ball make us a better team," said Fire general manager Nelson RodrÃguez in a team statement. "He also has a terrific work rate and will be an important role model within the locker room."
