Editing Nate Jaqua (section)

===Professional===
After his 2002 season, Jaqua signed a [[Project-40]] contract with [[Major League Soccer]] and entered the [[2003 MLS SuperDraft]], where he was selected third overall by [[Chicago Fire Soccer Club|Chicago Fire]]. Although Jaqua was expected to fill the hole in the Fire's lineup left by [[Josh Wolff]], [[Damani Ralph]] quickly took that position, and Jaqua was relegated to a reserve role, starting only five games, scoring two goals and two assists. Although Jaqua remained blocked at forward by Ralph and [[Ante Razov]] in the 2004 season, [[DaMarcus Beasley]]'s departure to [[PSV Eindhoven]] left an open spot in the Fire midfield, which Jaqua soon took. He finished the season having started 21 games for the team, while scoring four goals and two assists. Thereafter, Jaqua continued to be used as an outside midfielder from time to time, however the majority of his appearances came as a forward.

Jaqua was chosen to participate in the [[2006 MLS All-Star Game]], taking on [[Chelsea F.C.]] in an exhibition match at the Fire's home field, [[Toyota Park (Bridgeview)|Toyota Park]]. Jaqua played well in the event, which the MLS side won in shocking fashion, 1–0.

After the 2006 season, Jaqua was not protected by Chicago in the [[2006 MLS Expansion Draft]]. Expansion side [[Toronto FC]] selected Jaqua in the November 17, 2006, draft but weeks later traded him to [[Los Angeles Galaxy]] in exchange for a partial player allocation.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/15/AR2006121501454.html|title=Galaxy Trade Goalie, Acquire Forward|website=washingtonpost.com}}</ref> On July 2, 2007, Los Angeles traded Jaqua to [[Houston Dynamo]] in exchange for [[Kelly Gray]] and a second-round pick in the [[2008 MLS SuperDraft]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blog.chron.com/sportsupdate/2007/07/dynamo-deal-kelly-gray-to-l-a-for-nate-jaqua/|title=Dynamo deal Kelly Gray to L.A. for Nate Jaqua|date=3 July 2007}}</ref>

He signed with [[Austria]]n side [[SC Rheindorf Altach]] on January 28, 2008, but was released despite performing well with the club. On July 13, 2008, he re-signed with [[Houston Dynamo]]. However, on November 26 of that year, he was selected by [[Seattle Sounders FC]] in the first round of the [[2008 MLS Expansion Draft]].<ref>{{cite news |title=MLS announces expansion in Seattle |date=2008-11-26 |url=http://web.mlsnet.com/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20081126&content_id=206969&vkey=pr_mls&fext=.jsp |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090325072359/http://web.mlsnet.com/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20081126&content_id=206969&vkey=pr_mls&fext=.jsp |url-status=dead |archive-date=2009-03-25 |work=MLS.net |access-date=2008-11-26 }}</ref>

Jaqua stayed with Seattle through the 2011 season. At season's end, the club declined his 2012 contract option and he entered the [[2011 MLS Re-Entry Draft]]. Jaqua was selected by [[New England Revolution]] in stage two of the draft on December 12, 2011. He was offered a contract but did not sign with New England.
