Career

Wright started his career in the

2003 FA Trophy Final, with victory over Tamworth at Villa Park.[5][6] He transferred to fellow Northern Premier League side Southport for a short spell before being handed the opportunity to move to Conference National side Northwich Victoria in November 2003 for an undisclosed fee, reported to be £3,000.[7][8] He scored four goals in 22 games as Northwich finished bottom of the table.[2]

Wright signed for

Lancashire FA for two years after striking a referee whilst playing for Ribbleton Rangers in a five-a-side tournament staged in Preston, Lancashire.[4] He returned to football in January 2010, re-signing for NPL First Division North side Bamber Bridge.[7] In March 2010, he moved up a division and re-joined NPL Premier Division side Kendal Town.[7] His stay at the club however was short and he quickly re-signed for Bamber Bridge. In the summer of 2011, he joined NPL Premier Division side Ashton United.[7]

In November 2011, Wright joined Kendal Town for the third time in his career.[12][13] In the summer of 2012, Wright joined NPL Premier Division side Leek Town on a free transfer. He scored 21 goals as the club finished in mid-table.[14] In the summer of 2013, Wright was on the move again this time to NPL Premier Division rivals Nantwich Town.[14] His spell at the club was short as Wright was on the move again in August 2013, signing for North West Counties Football League First Division side Nelson by manager Mark Fell.[14] He linked up with Fell for the second time in his career having previously been coached by him at Chorley in 2006, when Fell was in Paul Lodge's coaching setup.[14] Wright had a prolific goalscoring record in his first season at the club finishing as top scorer with 38 goals in 37 games in all competitions, as Nelson finished as champions gaining promotion to the North West Counties Football League Premier Division.[15] This goal tally included an impressive five hat-tricks, with three of these coming in consecutive games in March 2014.[16] In May 2014, Wright extended his stay with Nelson signing a one-year contract.[17] In October 2015, he left Nelson after two years at the club and having scored 59 goals in 91 appearances.[18]

Personal life

After finishing his professional career, Wright went on to work as a plumber full-time.[19] He has three children with his former partner Rachel Livesey, Lewis, Jessica and Sophie.[19] In January 2014, he helped to deliver his second child Jessica at their home in Lostock Hall, Lancashire. Less than 12 hours later he scored a last minute winner for Nelson in a 4–3 win over Daisy Hill.[19]
