Club career

Crewe Alexandra

He began his career with Crewe Alexandra where he made his debut in 1997, and became a regular in the 199899 season, before playing in Crewe's promotion season, in 200203.

Wigan Athletic

In the following season, he joined Wigan Athletic for £500,000 where he achieved promotion as well.

He lost his first-team place to teammate Nicky Eaden, but continued with Wigan throughout their march to the Premier League. In search of first-team football, he joined Norwich City in 2005, playing five games.

Ipswich Town

Wright joined Ipswich Town for around £200,000 on a three-year contract in January 2007. He made his debut against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on 13 January, and was sent off a week later in his home debut against Colchester United. He scored his first goal for the club on 22 April against Norwich in the 11 draw. His first home goal for Ipswich came against Bristol City in a 60 win in November.

Ahead of the 200809 season, Wright was considered for the captaincy at Ipswich Town, although missed out to Gareth McAuley. Again, in March 2009, while McAuley was suspended, Wright admitted his desire to captain Ipswich in a game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, but again missed out, this time to Tommy Miller. Ipswich drew that game 00. Wright missed most of the rest of the season through a hamstring injury.

At the start of the 200910 season, Wright fell out of favour with manager Roy Keane. He did, however, work his way back into the team at left back and on 31 October scored against Derby County at Portman Road to give Ipswich their first win of the seasonthe last team in the whole league to record their first win. However he was released from the club at the end of the season.

Crystal Palace

Wright then signed for Crystal Palace on a free transfer. The club was still in administration at the time but was soon to exit it, with George Burley having been appointed manager.
