Patrick McLain (Eau Claire Memorial) won't be back for a third season with Chivas USA next year.

The Major League Soccer club announced Thursday that it had declined to pick up the 2014 option on the goalkeeper's contract, making McLain a free agent.

The 25-year-old made his MLS debut on May 5, coming on to replace Dan Kennedy after the starter was sent off in a match against Sporting Kansas City. He also started the May 12 match against the Portland Timbers with Kennedy suspended.

A former standout at Cal Poly, McLain also was a regular in the MLS Reserve League, posting a 2.22 goals-against average and one shutout in 810 minutes.
