Deklan Terrence Wynne (born 20 March 1995) is a New Zealand professional footballer who plays as a left-back; he is without a club after leaving Port Vale on 30 June 2024. A New Zealand international, he played in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup. However, as he was born in South Africa, he was judged to be ineligible to represent New Zealand at the Olympics. As a result, New Zealand were excluded from competing in football at the 2016 Olympic Games.
Wynne began his professional career with Wanderers SC after moving from East Coast Bays in 2013. He played 26 games in the New Zealand Football Championship before being signed to Whitecaps FC 2, the reserve team to the Vancouver Whitecaps, in August 2015. He played 35 games in the United Soccer League before being traded to the Colorado Rapids in December 2017. He played 36 games during three seasons in Major League Soccer. He returned to the USL Championship, spending one season each with OKC Energy (on loan from Phoenix Rising), Detroit City and Charleston Battery. He was named defender of the year at the league's Mid-Season Award in 2022. He signed a short-term deal with English club Port Vale in April 2024.
