Chris Wingert has been a constant on New York City FC's back line this season.
The outside back-turned-center back had played every minute of every match through the Club's first 11 matches. It wasn't until May 23 when Wingert's streak was broken. The former Real Salt Lake defender was substituted off the field in the 81st minute of New York City FC's 2-0 loss at Rio Tinto Stadium. Wingert, who played for RSL from 2007-14, left to a rousing standing ovation.
Wingert leads New York City FC in games played (12), starts (12) and minutes played (1,071).
