Born in Birmingham, West Midlands, Nick Wright joined Birmingham City's youth academy when he was a teenager, but never progressed into the first team set up.
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.
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] He joined Northampton Town on loan at the end of November 2006. He went on to make four appearances for The Cobblers.[3] Wright and Birmingham teammate Asa Hall spent the last month of the 2006–07 season helping Ashford Town (Kent) avoid relegation from the Isthmian League Division One.[4]
After being released by Birmingham City at the end of the 2006–07 season, Wright joined local side Halesowen Town.
Wright returned to Conference North side, Tamworth on 17 October 2007.[5]
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.[6] Just four days later, Wright scored another hat-trick against Hucknall Town in a 4–0 home win.[7]
During September 2008, Tamworth confirmed that former manager Mark Cooper, who is now with Conference National side Kettering Town was making enquires about signing Nick Wright. The Lambs did receive an offer from The Poppies, however it was rejected. Wright was fully aware of the goings on and said he is happy to still be a Tamworth player.[8]
On 21 April 2009, Wright won The Lambs promotion back into the top flight of non-league football following his 65th-minute goal against local rivals, Hinckley United in their 1–0 win.[9]
Wright was placed on the transfer list by Gary Mills on 10 December 2009 to "freshen up" his squad.[10]
In the subsequent summer Wright left Tamworth, signing for fellow Midlands based Conference National side Kidderminster Harriers on a one year deal.[11] Wright scored his first goal for the club in a 3–4 home loss to Southport on 17 August 2010, and added a further two goals in a 2–2 draw away to Wrexham seven days later. His fourth goal came in a 3–1 home win against Hayes and Yeading on 11 September 2010, and despite appearing in a further nine games he didn't score again in 2010. 2011 started much more brightly, Wright scoring against former side Tamworth in the third minute on 4 January.
