Wilson Yates

This reserved American center-back is a force of nature who dominates the pitch with explosive bursts of speed and uncompromising slide tackles, even if he sometimes misses the tactical nuances of the game. A local legend was born the day he accidentally tore the goal netting clean off its moorings in youth training because he crunched a striker with such force the entire frame buckled. He is a literal brick wall who occasionally loses focus on reading the play, but will stop anyone standing in his way.
