His career was cut short due to multiple ankle injuries. High schoolThe second of four siblings, Cleary grew up in Milton, Massachusetts where he began high school at Catholic Memorial High School, later transferring to Noble and Greenough School.[1] A member of the Massachusetts Olympic Development Teams from ages 13–19 and playing youth football for Charles River United and F.C. Greater Boston Bolts, Cleary managed to win five state titles and three Regional Championships, and was named Tournament MVP three times. Cleary was also named to the All-Conference Team in high school three times, twice named to the All-State Team and twice named to the All-Region Team. He finished his high school career with over 110 points.[2] Cleary was also an All-Conference basketball and baseball player in his senior year of high school and had been recruited to play all three sports in college. CollegeCleary played college soccer at Boston College from 1998 to 2001 for Ed Kelly. He was a Big East All-Conference selection and Regional All-American his senior season and the recipient of the Tom McElroy Scholarship. Cleary started all but four games in his four seasons in Chestnut Hill, playing primarily as an outside winger. During his junior year, Boston College won the Big East tournament over Manfred Schellscheidt's Seton Hall University squad. Cleary finished his collegiate career ranking in Boston College's top 10 in both total points and assists. ProfessionalAfter completing his collegiate career, Cleary moved to Germany where he signed with Second Division club Karlsruher SC. After two years on the books with KSC Cleary's agent, Bernd Wulffen, was in negotiations with Eintracht Frankfurt following a successful 4 day trial period, but communication between parties broke down for unknown reasons. As a result, in 2004, Cleary moved to England and signed a non-contract with Barnsley FC, but soon left for Worksop Town FC with Assistant Manager, Ronnie Glavin and four other players. Cleary was rumored to be making a move to Sheffield Wednesday F.C. or Doncaster Rovers F.C. after his performances in his team's FA Cup games. (Cleary managed six goals and one assist in three games). He retired in 2005 after suffering another ankle injury necessitating two major operations. He has since returned to the United States. FA Cup hat-trickOn October 6, 2004, Cleary became the first American to ever score a hat-trick in the FA Cup. Worksop Town FC defeated Droylesden FC 3–2 in front of 4,500 fans.[3] After this hat-trick Cleary became a cult hero with the Worksop fans who would chant "USA USA USA" whenever he did something to please them. AgentIn May 2008 Cleary's agent from 2002–2004, Bernd Wulffen, was arrested by Interpol in Cape Town, South Africa on charges of fraud and theft. Wulffen was said to have represented a number of other American and German soccer and handball players while attempting to start an exchange program.[4][5] CoachCoaches Nick Bartels in the off season References1. ^Nobles - School / Soccer Boys Varsity {{DEFAULTSORT:Cleary, Chris}}2. ^Player Bio: Chris Cleary :: Men's Soccer {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091114121414/http://bceagles.cstv.com/sports/m-soccer/mtt/cleary_chris00.html |date=November 14, 2009 }} 3. ^TheFA.com - Born in the USA 4. ^http://edmonton.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20080518/EDM_soccerscam_080518/20080518/?hub=EdmontonHome 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://teamhandballnews.com/news.php?item.487 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2009-12-31 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080602092443/http://teamhandballnews.com/news.php?item.487 |archivedate=2008-06-02 |df= }} 14 : 1979 births|Living people|American expatriate soccer players|American soccer players|Expatriate footballers in Germany|Karlsruher SC II players|Barnsley F.C. players|Worksop Town F.C. players|Boston College Eagles men's soccer players|People from Milton, Massachusetts|Soccer players from Massachusetts|Noble and Greenough School alumni|Association football midfielders|Association football forwards |
