Nathan Wright (born 16 February 1994) is an Australian rules footballer who currently plays with the St Kilda in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Wright was St Kilda's first selection, number 24 overall, in the 2012 AFL Draft. He was recruited from the Dandenong Stingrays and was also a graduate of the AIS-AFL Academy program. He made his AFL debut in the Round 3 match against Greater Western Sydney.[1]
In his fifth AFL game, against Carlton, Wright suffered a broken jaw when he was bumped by Eddie Betts. Despite a public apology by Betts, the AFL Match Review Panel deemed Betts' actions to be reckless rough conduct and suspended him from playing for three matches.[2]
