Bridgeview, IL (Sports Network) - The Chicago Fire announced on Wednesday that the club has re-signed midfielder Pavel Pardo.

The Mexico international joined the Fire last July and appeared in 14 matches for the club, scoring one goal with five assists.

"Pavel helped kick-start our turnaround at the end of last season," said Chicago 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."

Pardo began his career with Atlas in Mexico before spending time with U.A.G. and America in his native country.

He moved to Germany to play for Stuttgart in 2006 and featured 71 times for the club before returning to America following the 2009 season.

The 35-year-old is the second-most capped player in Mexico national team history having made 148 appearances for the team.
