Wright began his professional career with Colchester United in England’s League Two, signing with the team in July 2012. He was prominently active during his first 2012-13 season, playing in 21 league matches and netting three goals. The years that followed saw him maintain his presence in the United’s first team squad, making 28 appearances in the 2013-14 season, and 4 and 11 matches in the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons respectively. The 2016-17 season marked a more significant contribution from Wright, featuring in 42 games and scoring twice. His final season with Colchester, 2017-18, witnessed him make 28 appearances.
In July 2018, he made his way north, transferring from Colchester to the Scottish Premiership team, St Johnstone. A relatively productive season in 2018, Wright made 14 appearances and scored once. His appearances increased in the 2019-20 season, playing in 22 matches. While he played in 38 games and scored seven goals in the 2022-23 season, the next season (2023-24) saw him feature in only nine matches. In the current 2024-25 season, he has so far played in 31 matches, netting one goal.
In July 2020, the Premiership side Hibernian took Wright on board. For the 2020-21 season, Wright played 20 matches and scored a goal. The following season, he made it to 17 games, once again scoring once.
However, Wright’s journey took him back to St Johnstone in July 2022. This period saw a range of performances, from scoring once in 14 matches during the 2018-19 season, to a prolific 2022-23 season with seven goals in 38 appearances. The 2023-2024 season resulted in nine appearances and the ongoing 2024-25 season has seen him play 31 matches, with one goal to his name.
Wright has also shown his mettle in cup matches. In the 2024-25 season, he participated in the Scottish and League Cups, making four and three appearances (2 as starter and 1 as substitute) for St Johnstone respectively.
