Professional Experience and Honors: 2004: Starting 29 of 30 games played, Fox logged 2,622 minutes in his eighth season with the Kickers at right back. Chris is the fourth all-time career leader in Kickers games played with 169 overall. 2003: Chris started 20 of his 24 games played in 2003, recording 1,892 minutes on the back-line. The solid defensive unit had a hand in nine shutouts, including a 2-0 win over the Atlanta Silverbacks on June 8th that earned Chris A-League Team of the Week honors. 2002: Chris returned to action on June 16th and started 24 games on the back line. That same week he was named to the A-League Team of the Week. 2001: Unfortunately after only competing in five games during the 2001 season, defender Chris Fox went down against the Nashville Metros on May 4, 2001 with an ACL/MCL tear in his knee that ended his season. 2000: After overcoming nagging injuries from 1999, Chris had a stellar 2000 campaign and was voted onto the First Team All A-League along with teammate Scott Cannon (1st time in Kickers history that a player made first team all league). Fox was an integral part of the Richmond defense that garnered 13 shutouts and only allowed 30 goals in 33 games (including playoffs and U.S. Open Cup). The speedy right back started 25 out of 26 games played (2,355 minutes) and tallied a goal and an assist for 3 points. 1999: Chris started off the year on a great note as one of the league’s top defenders and was named to the A-League All-Star game. Unfortunately due to an injury to his pelvic/groin area in July of ‘99, Chris was not full strength for the rest of the season.
A quick defender with great soccer instinct, Fox has also added some offense in the past five seasons with 6 goals and 4 assists for 16 points.
Fox’s professional experience goes beyond the A-League: prior to the 1999 season Chris trained with the New England Revolution and traveled with them to Italy during pre-season, in 2000 Fox was sought after by D.C. United but decided not to move to MLS.
College Experience and Honors: As a senior at Brown University he registered 7 assists while anchoring a defensive unit that allowed less than one goal per game. A 1994 and 1995 Academic All-Ivy selection, Chris was named to the All-Ivy first team, the All-New England squad, and in 1995 was a second team All-American after helping lead his team to the NCAA quarterfinals for the second consecutive season.
