Last year, Henry Wingo was usually a defensive or possession oriented midfielder for the University of Washington. With the Seattle Sounders in 2017 he’s been a late attacking sub instructed with charging towards goal and creating chances for others. In his 46 minutes thus far, he has three key passes—all of them considered “short” by WhoScored.
Wingo is enjoying the shift back to the attacking role he held with the Academy.
“It’s been a little bit of a roller coaster, because when I was in the Academy that was more my focus, I played on the wing and was purely an attacking player.
