Logan Pause (born August 22, 1981) is an American former soccer player who spent his entire twelve-year professional career with the Chicago Fire in Major League Soccer.
After attending Jordan High School in Durham, North Carolina, Pause played college soccer at the University of North Carolina from 2000 to 2002. After a 2002 season in which he co-captained the Tar Heels and played everywhere from central defense to attacking midfield due to injuries, Pause signed a Project-40 contract with MLS. During the 2002 collegiate off-season, Pause played for the Raleigh CASL Elite of the fourth division Premier Development League.
Pause was selected 24th overall in the 2003 MLS SuperDraft by the Fire. He surprised many by seeing immediate time with the team, finishing the season with 21 appearances and 15 starts for a Fire team that won the MLS Supporters' Shield and the U.S. Open Cup. Pause played the same role for the Fire in 2004, filling in for Jesse Marsch and Chris Armas, starting 19 games and adding two assists.
Pause served primarily as the club's defensive midfielder after Armas retired. He made his 200th league appearance for the Fire on March 26, 2011 in a 3-2 win over Sporting Kansas City.
With the additions of Arévalo Ríos and Jeff Larentowicz in the 2013 MLS season, Pause saw a reduction in playing time, appearing in only 15 matches and starting 11 of those. Following the season's conclusion Pause was made available in the 2013 MLS Re-Entry Draft but eventually agreed to new a contract ahead of the 2014 season.
