After impressing during his college career at St. Louis University, Kidd signed his first professional contract in 2021 with Chicago House AC for their inaugural season in the NISA. In 2022, he moved to MLS NEXT Pro side Chicago Fire FC II before returning to St. Louis in 2023 to play under Head Coach Bobby Murphy with St. Louis City 2. Kidd tallied 10 goals in 41 appearances in two seasons for the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMateo played for me in St. Louis and he\u2019s a tremendous player,\u201d said Bobby Murphy, \u201cHe has vast experience and a great personality that will fit right in with this group. On the field, he gives us some more depth in midfield and we\u2019re super excited to have him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wanted the opportunity to play and to play in front of fans who care,\u201d said Kidd when asked about his decision to join Hearts, \u201cI think this is a place where you can really have fun playing soccer and show who you are on and off the field.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFans should know that when I step on the pitch, I\u2019ll give 100 percent every single time \u2014 whether it\u2019s an afternoon game, night game, or midweek match.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
