New Toronto FC defender Henry Wingo happy to be back in North America
TORONTO — After winning titles in Hungary with Ferencvarosi TC, Henry Wingo wanted to return to North America. And Toronto FC was delighted to welcome the American defender.
“He’s going to offer a lot to the team,” said Toronto coach John Herdman, happy to answer a question that wasn’t related to the Olympic drone scandal in which he, as a former Canada coach, has found himself entangled. “He’s going to offer an energy, a verve to that right-hand side.”
Herdman also cited the versatility and “technical quality” of the 28-year-old from Seattle.
Wingo has played predominantly at right fullback in a back four, but spent time last season as a centre back in a three-man backline after Ferencvarosi went through a coaching change. He has also seen time at wingback.
