[edit] Career
[edit] Crewe
He began his career with Crewe Alexandra where he made his debut in 1997, and became a regular in the 1998–99 season, before lending a hand in Crewe's promotion in 2002–03.
[edit] Wigan Athletic
In the following season, he joined Wigan Athletic for £500,000 where he managed to achieve promotion as well.
He lost his first-team place to teammate Nicky Eaden, but continued with Wigan throughout their march to the Premier League.
In search of first-team football, he joined Norwich City in 2005, playing 5 games.
[edit] Ipswich
Wright joined Ipswich for around £200,000 on a 3 year contract in January 2007. He made his debut against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on 13 January, and was sent off a week later in his home debut against Colchester United.
He scored his first goal for the club on 22 April against Norwich in the 1–1 draw. His first home goal for Ipswich came against Bristol City in a 6–0 win in November.
Ahead of the 2008-09 season, Wright was considered for the captaincy at Ipswich Town, although missed out to Gareth McAuley. Again, in March 2009, while McAuley was suspended, Wright admitted his desire to captain Ipswich in a game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, but again missed out, this time to Tommy Miller. Ipswich drew that game 0-0. Wright missed most of the rest of the season through a hamstring injury.
