[edit] Playing career
[edit] Birmingham City
Born in Birmingham, Nick Wright joined Birmingham City's youth academy when he was a teenager, but never progressed into the first team set up.
[edit] Tamworth
In January 2006, Wright joined Conference National strugglers Tamworth on loan. During his spell with the Lambs, Wright appeared in their FA Cup Third Round game against Stoke City. He also played in the replay at The Lamb Ground, in which Tamworth lost 5–4 on penalties.
[edit] Bristol City
Wright was sent out on loan to Bristol City on 12 October 2006 to gain first team experience.[1] A month later, Wright had to cut his loan with the Robins short, following the death of his grandfather.[2]
[edit] Northampton Town
Following the death of his grandfather, Wright joined Northampton Town on loan at the end of November 2006. He went on to make four appearances for the The Cobblers.[3]
[edit] Halesowen Town
After being released by Birmingham City at the end of the 2006–07 season, Wright joined local side Halesowen Town.
[edit] Tamworth again
Wright returned to Conference North side, Tamworth on 17 October 2007.[4]
On 12 February 2008, Wright scored all three goals in a 3–1 away win at Vauxhall Motors. This was the first time a Tamworth player had scored a hat-trick since Marcus Ebdon's three goals in a 5–0 win against Gresley Rovers in the FA Trophy in January 2005.[5] Just four days later, Wright scored another hat-trick against Hucknall Town in a 4-0 home win.[6]
