[edit] Club career

Born in Essex, Wright started his football career at Charlton Athletic, with whom he signed a two-year professional contract in April 2007 at the age of 17 alongside close friend Harry Arter.[1] Before joining Charlton's academy full-time at the age of 16, he attended Roding Valley High School in Loughton.[2] He plays in midfield as a playmaker.[3]

In August of that year, Wright moved to Barnet on loan for what eventually amounted to three months.[4] After a successful spell, which saw him score his first ever goal against Stockport County[5] and be named Barnet's player of the month for November,[6] he returned to Charlton. A month later, he was re-signed on loan by Barnet for the remainder of the 2007–08 season.[7]

[edit] International career

Wright made his debut for his country at U16 level against Japan in March 2005.[8] Since then, he has represented England at the U17, U18 and, most recently, U19 levels. He was captain of the U17 side on several occasions,[9][10] having previously captained the U16 team.[11]
