Career
Wright started his career at local professional club Motherwell in 2002. At the time, the SPL club were giving a lot of young players an opportunity due to administration, forcing a number of cuts. This meant Wright would be one of the fortunate youth players given their chance. However, due to injury, Wright was never able to show the goal-scoring ability that he undoubtedly had, and he was released by the Fir Park club at the end of the 2005-06 season. Wright made just 23 League appearances, scoring one goal (the winning goal against Aberdeen).[1]
On his release from Motherwell, Wright spent three seasons at lower league level, playing for Stranraer,[2] Albion Rovers,[3] Arbroath, and Elgin City.[4]
After a spell playing amateur football in Lanarkshire, latterly with Eddlewood AFC, he joined Forth Wanderers in 2011.[5] Wright had brief spells at Carluke Rovers and Shotts Bon Accord before re-signing for Forth in November 2012[6][7]
Wright left Forth to return to amateur level with Blantyre Celtic but stepped up to join Thorniewood United in the summer of 2014.[8][9]
