The Chicago Fire announced they have re-signed midfielder Pavel Pardo ahead of the 2012 season. Per league policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
After transferring from Mexican side America in July, Pardo appeared in 14 competitive matches for the club, tallying one goal and five assists, and helping the side to a 7-2-1 finish to the season.
“Pavel helped kick-start our turnaround at the end of last season,” said Fire head coach Frank Klopas. “He provides tremendous experience for us in the middle of the park, serves as a great example for our younger players and plays for the badge every time he steps on the field.”
The 35-year-old is the second-most capped player in Mexican history, making 148 appearances for El Tri, and playing in the 1998 and 2006 World Cups.
