Wright's journey saw him transit from Ilkeston Town in the Northern Premier League in England to Fleetwood Town in English League Two in March 2015. Details of this move remain under wraps as no transfer value was revealed. A subsequent loan period followed in October 2016, to then League Two side Barrow, where he made a mark with 24 appearances and a goal for the 2016-2017 season.
July 2017 witnessed another shift in allegiance as Wright traded Fleetwood Town for Wrexham on loan, in the League One. His endeavour here spanned 20 league performances for the 2017-2018 season. A permanent move to Wrexham from Fleetwood Town transpired in January 2018, for yet another confidential figure. That same season saw him maintain pace with a repeat of 20 first team appearances in league matches.
Opting for a stepping stone, Wright transitioned from Wrexham to York City in the National League, England, in September 2020. Just shy of two years later, Wright experienced a promotion of sorts, transferring from York City to Stockport County in English League One. A busy season followed in 2022 - 2023, marked by a commendable 27 league appearances for Stockport.
July 2024 brought Wright to the brink of the Scottish Premiership with Ross County, for an undisclosed sum. The current season, 2024-2025, has witnessed Wright make 23 appearances and score three league goals, and play an active part in the League Cup 2024-2025 with Ross County, starting four times, and once in the Scottish Cup.
