KIR SCOUTING REPORT

Wingert is a versatile Defender that has seen time on either wing and can also play

some in the middle. He has a good cross and gets forward well though his lack speed

makes it hard for him to recover at times. He is good at marking his man and not

allowing them to get quality crosses into the box. He needs to continue to work on

picking his moments to cross the ball as often times he crosses the ball to a spot rather

than a player.
