Wright’s senior path has taken him from Fleetwood Town through Wrexham, York City and Stockport County to Ross County, a five-club route with a mix of loans, free transfers and undisclosed deals. His recent Ross County spell has brought four goals in 2024-25 and three in 2025-26, a useful return from central defence.

Wright’s transfer history is pragmatic: a Fleetwood Town loan to Wrexham became an undisclosed permanent move in January 2018, followed by free-transfer steps to York City and Stockport County. Ross County then brought him in from Stockport County on an undisclosed deal in July 2024, suggesting he had rebuilt value after moving for free.
