Tayvon Gray found himself making 18 starts during the 2022 MLS regular season with New York City FC, an increase from the 10 starts Tayvon made in 2021 after the right-back was asked to step up and fill the role of injured defender Anton Tinnerholm.Gray not only filled the shoes left empty by Tinnerholm’s absence but he laced them up and was a critical component in the team that eventually lifted the MLS Cup in Portland in 2021.
