Bradley Edward Wright-Phillips (born March 12, 1985 in Lewisham, London) is an English footballer. He is the biological son of Arsenal and England player Ian Wright, and younger half-brother to Chelsea and England player Shaun Wright-Phillips, Ian's adopted son. He grew up in Brockley South London and attended the state school Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham College nearby in New Cross Gate.
He currently plays for Southampton, whom he joined on 5 July 2006. He was the top-scorer for the Manchester City reserve team in the season 2003-2004. His brother Shaun scored 10 Premiership goals and Bradley managed one. On 6 December 2004, he scored his first Premiership goal within minutes of making his Premiership debut against Middlesbrough. He has also played for England Under 19s. After his superb swivel and kick goal in the 3-2 loss to Middlesbrough he had become somewhat of a favourite with the Manchester City fans.
However, after many frustrating appearances with few goals, he was sold to Championship team Southampton for an undisclosed fee in the summer of 2006. He made an immediate impact at Southampton, scoring on his debut against Derby County at Pride Park, and scoring an impressive goal against Wolverhampton Wanderers in a 2-0 win at St. Mary's.
