2018 Defensive Player of the Year: Anton Tinnerholm

Here comes the… TinnerBOOM.

Anton Tinnerholm has been named NYCFC’s Defender of the Year for 2018.

The Swedish right back earned the award following an outstanding debut season in MLS.

A rock at the back and a driving force up the wing – Tinnerholm quickly endeared himself to the City faithful with a string of early season wonder strikes that came to be known as the TinnerBOOM.
