Chad Barrett Forward
		Noted as one of Major League Soccer's rising stars, Chad Barrett arrived in Toronto during the midway point of the 2008 campaign. Spent two seasons with perennial NCAA Division I powerhouse UCLA, helping the team to a 34-6-3 record while tallying 50 points on 16 goals and 18 assists. Became the third Bruin in as many seasons to be drafted by the Fire. Strong powerful force up front and the sky seems to be the limit for this youngster as a professional. Has stepped in and made an immediate impact with the Fire in his first two seasons appearing in 37 games and scoring 6 goals. In 2009 he was signed to Toronto FC to bring an offensive punch to the club, Barrett came through and was named the team's Golden Boot winner from scoring the most goals (nine). He joined Toronto with five goals under his belt from the Fire. A few months after his arrival, Barrett signed a four-year contract extension with TFC (09/03/08), solidifying himself as a big part of the team's future. The young striker finished the 2008 season with just two cautions - a testament to his disciplined style of play. After a full pre-season with the team's Strength and Conditioning Coach Paul Winsper, expect a fitter and even more productive forward in 2009.
