Wes Wade (born February 18, 1968 in Ohio) is a retired U.S. soccer player who spent two seasons playing outdoor soccer and fifteen playing indoor soccer. He was a six time All Star and won five championships with two teams.

Player

Wade attended Maryville High School in Ohio, graduating in 1986. In 1989, he signed with the Arizona Condors of the Western Soccer League. While the Condors finished well out of playoff contention, Wade tied for second in goal scoring and finished fourth in the league in total points. [ [http://www.sover.net/~spectrum/year/1989.html The Year in American Soccer – 1989] ] In the fall of 1989, Wade began his long indoor career with the San Diego Sockers of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL). Over the next three seasons, Wade and his team mates won three MISL championships. The league folded after the 1992 season and Wade jumped to the Wichita Wings of the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL). He spent only fifteen days with the Comets before moving to the Detroit Rockers for three months. The Rockers then traded Wade to the Kansas City Attack. [ [http://www.howesportsdata.com/howesportsdata/stats/soccer/misl/misl93.txt NATIONAL PROFESSIONAL SOCCER LEAGUE FINAL OFFICIAL STATISTICS -- 1992-1993] ] Wade added to his championships when the Attack took the 1993 NPSL title. In 1993, the Continental Indoor Soccer League (CISL) was created as summer indoor league. The San Diego Sockers were a founding member and still held Wade’s player rights. However, on June 3, 1993, the Sockers traded Wade to the Arizona Sandsharks for Thompson Usiyan, Alex Golovnia and Nassim Olabi.

Wade and the Comets played in the newly reconstructed Major Indoor Soccer League until his retirement following the 2003-2004 season.
