Aldrich attended the Butler University where he played on the men's soccer team from 1995 to 1998.[1] He was a 1998 Second Team All American. Butler inducted him into the school's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2011.[2] Aldrich played for the Kalamazoo Kingdom during the 1996 collegiate offseason and the Michigan Bucks during the 1998 offseason.

Professional

[edit]

On February 6, 1999, the Miami Fusion drafted Aldrich in the second round (nineteenth overall) of the 1999 MLS College Draft.[3] He played eighteen games as a rookie, but saw his playing time diminish in 2000 due to several injuries, particularly in the knee and back area. That season, the Fusion sent Aldrich on loan to MLS Pro-40 in the USL A-League for three games.[4] The Fusion released him in February 2001.[5] In March 2001, the Indiana Blast of the USL A-League signed Aldrich.[6] He went on loan to the Chicago Fire and Columbus Crew during the season, but never entered a game with either team. In 2002, he moved to the Milwaukee Rampage and Milwaukee Wave United for the 2003 season.[7] He also played the last game of the indoor season for the Milwaukee Wave of the Major Indoor Soccer League. He moved to the Philadelphia KiXX in the fall of 2003.[8] He spent two seasons with the KiXX. In 2004, he also played for the Virginia Beach Mariners.[9] In 2005, Aldrich signed with the Colorado Rapids. He played one game for the Rapids’ reserve team, but never entered a first team game.

International

[edit]

In 1996 and 1997, Aldrich played for the United States men's national under-20 soccer team.

Coach
