Louisville City FC News Release


Midfielder Elijah Wynder returned to Louisville City FC after his loan spell ended at USL League One side FC Tucson, the clubs announced Monday.

Wynder, a 19-year-old from Louisville, will be available for selection beginning Wednesday as LouCity hosts Phoenix Rising FC in the USL's "Summer Showcase" game, which kicks off at 7 p.m. on ESPN2.

Wynder appeared in 12 games for FC Tucson a season after missing all of 2021 due to a knee injury. Back with the boys in purple, he could see time this summer in both USL Championship games and USL Academy League competitions.

"We are excited to having Elijah back here in Louisville," said coach Danny Cruz. "We firmly believe that the experience he had at FC Tucson was extremely valuable for his development. I'm looking forward to having him in training and continuing to evaluate him as the season progresses."

In December of 2020, Wynder made club history as the first player to sign a professional contract out of the youth academy. His younger brother, 17-year-old Josh Wynder, followed months later and has since cemented a starting role at defender.
