Akil Wright is an English central defender, born on 13 May 1996 (age 30), and currently with Ross County. He is a straightforward profile rather than a glamorous one: a senior defender whose value sits at around £170,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His most productive league season came at Ross County in 2024–25, when he scored four goals in 38 appearances. That is useful output from a centre-half, especially at a club where set-pieces and basic defensive reliability tend to matter more than polish.
In 2026–27, Wright has made 12 league appearances and scored two league goals, while also adding six League Cup appearances for Ross County. Across all competitions for the club that season, he has made 18 appearances and scored twice.
Wright’s career, on the available evidence, is that of an established professional centre-back with steady Ross County involvement and occasional goal threat from defence. It is a solid, unspectacular record, which is often exactly the point.
