Henry Wingo is currently on trial with Norwegian first-division team Molde FK, the Seattle Sounders confirmed on Friday. Reports of Wingo’s trial had first surfaced earlier in the week, but this was the first time head coach Brian Schmetzer had acknowledged them.
“With where he was on the depth chart, I felt it was a good opportunity for him,” Schmetzer said. “If something happens and he breaks through, and we still retain his rights, I think that’s a good thing for both the player and the club.”
Despite some encouraging recent play, Wingo found himself in an awkward position within the Sounders.
