Wynder signed a USL Academy contract with USL Championship side Louisville City in February 2021. On June 3, 2021, Wynder signed a professional deal with the club.
On June 8, 2023, Wynder joined Portuguese club Benfica for a fee of $1.2 million and add-ons, the largest transfer fee to date for a USL player. He was initially assigned to the B team, which will play in Liga Portugal 2.
