Career

Grimsby Town

Wright joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Sutton Coldfield Town on an initial one-month loan on 12 January 2017. [2] In February 2017, Wright extended his loan at Sutton Coldfield Town until the end of the season. [3] He signed a new one-year contract in August 2017 with Grimsby Town. [4] Wright joined Scarborough Athletic on 24 August 2017 on loan. [5] He signed a new two-year contract with Grimsby on 5 June 2018. [6]

Wright made his professional debut on 14 August 2018 coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute against Rochdale in the EFL Cup. [7]

On 6 September 2018, Wright joined Boston United on an initial one-month loan. [8] The deal was extended with one further month, so it would end on 6 November 2018. [9]

Wright was recalled from his loan spell by Grimsby Town with immediate effect on 26 April 2019, making his EFL debut on 29 April as a second-half substitute against Notts County.

Grimsby secured promotion with victory in the play-off final, though Wright was not in the matchday squad at London Stadium. [10]

On 29 January 2023, he joined FC Halifax Town on loan. [15] Wright came off the bench in the 90th minute during Town's FA Trophy final victory over Gateshead at Wembley Stadium. [16]
