From the eye of a storm: Deklan Wynne looks to move forward from a whirlwind 2015

VANCOUVER, BC - One minute, you’re performing in front of 25,000 delirious fans, then you’re in the eye of an international controversy the next.

That’s just part of a whirlwind 2015 for Deklan Wynne, one of 13 core players coming back to Whitecaps FC 2 next year.

Most 20-year olds would melt in the heat of the spotlight, but Wynne is not your ordinary 20-year old.

Born in South Africa before moving to New Zealand in 2010, Wynne came into his own in Auckland, developing into a promising left-footed defender in the youth soccer circuit, and eventually entering the professional ranks before he celebrated his 19th birthday.
