BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – The Chicago Fire announced on Monday that midfielders Joey Calistri and Collin Fernandez, and defender Matej Dekovic would be loaned its USL partner Tulsa Roughnecks FC ahead of the start of the 2017 season. All three players saw action for the Roughnecks and Head Coach David Vaudreuil in Saturday’s 3-0 preseason victory against Saint Louis FC.

Calistri signed a Homegrown contract with the Fire on Dec. 17, 2015 after serving as a four-year starter for Northwestern University, where he finished as the second-leading goal-scorer in program history. The Deerfield, Ill. native made his professional debut in the Fire’s season opener on March 6 against New York City FC when he entered in the 81st minute.

Calistri made 14 appearances in his rookie campaign and scored his first professional goal against the Colorado Rapids on June 18. He was also selected for the 2016 Chipotle MLS Homegrown Game at Avaya Stadium in San Jose, Calif.
