VANCOUVER, BC – Jake Nerwinski is usually one to keep his head down and work.
It’s one of the reasons the New Jersey native has become a fan favourite in Vancouver. But with centre backs Kendall Waston and Doneil Henry away on international duty, Nerwinski will be one of the players expected to take charge of Vancouver Whitecaps FC’s back line when they host Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday night at BC Place.
And he’s up for the challenge, which so happens to fall on his 24th birthday.
“I was actually talking with the coaches about it,” Nerwinski said.
