marvell wynne, usmnt, biography

Marvell Wynne emerged as one of the best young defenders in Major League Soccer, after a stellar collegiate career Wynne was taken with the first pick in the 2006 SuperDraft by New York. At the end of that season he won Young Player of the Year honors with the club.

In 2007 he was traded to fledgling franchise Toronto FC, where he marauded down the right flank to great effect in a team that needed all the attacking weapons it could muster, from any part of the field. He also won his first USMNT cap thrown in at the deep end when he faced Argentina in the Copa America.

Traded to Colorado just in time for an improbable MLS Cup run, Wynne lifted the trophy in 2010. He joined San Jose in 2015. Wynne announced his retirement on April 20, 2018.
