Josh Wright

Wright made his debut for the club, where he came on as a substitute for Gary Hooper in the 49th minute, in a 4–0 loss against Cardiff City in the opening game of the season.

Since his debut, Wright quickly made an impact for the club and established himself in the starting eleven "as the holding player in United's four-man midfield."

In his first season, Wright made thirty-five appearances for the club.

Joshua William Wright (born 6 November 1989) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for National League side Ebbsfleet United.

He began his career at Charlton Athletic at the age of 17 in 2007, but spent the majority of his two years there on loan at Barnet, Brentford and Gillingham.

Born in Bethnal Green, London, 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.

Before joining Charlton's academy full-time at the age of 16, he attended Chigwell School in Chigwell, and Roding Valley High School in Loughton, Essex.

Fellow professionals Lee Sawyer and Billy Lumley also attended Roding Valley High School, while Jordan Spence was in the same year group as Wright at Chigwell.

He plays in midfield as a playmaker.

In August of that year, Wright moved to Barnet on loan for what eventually amounted to three months.

After a successful spell, which saw him score his first ever goal against Stockport County and be named Barnet's player of the month for November, he returned to Charlton.

A month later, he was re-signed on loan by Barnet for the remainder of the 2007–08 season.

On 19 September 2008, Wright was signed by League Two side Brentford on a month's loan.

The loan was extended but soon after Alan Pardew decided to call Wright back due to an injury crisis at the club, where he made an impressive display for Brentford under the management of Andy Scott.

Following his return from a loan spell at Brentford, he made his debut for Charlton in a 1–1 draw against Burnley on 25 October 2008, where he was started for the match.

He then joined Gillingham on loan in March 2009 until the end of the season.

He made his debut for Gillingham on 4 April 2009 in the 2–0 home defeat to Barnet.

His four appearances at Gillingham impressed Mark Stimson that he extended Wright's loan spell with Gillingham, which allowed him to play in the play-offs.

Wright was responsible for the corner kick that allowed striker Simeon Jackson to score in the 2009 Football League Two play-off final at Wembley Stadium, sending Gillingham to Football League One for the 2009–10 campaign.

Despite making his best efforts for Gillingham, Charlton weren't convinced of Wright and instead released him upon his contract expiring.

He signed for Scunthorpe United in July 2009 on a two-year contract.

Upon joining Scunthorpe United, Wright revealed he turned down a move to big clubs in order to join Scunthorpe United and was motivated to join the Iron for first team football.

In his second season at Scunthorpe United, Wright started his season when he scored his first goal for the club in a Football League Cup game against Manchester United on 22 September 2010.

After the match, Wright said he is more than pleased to score his first goal which he cited as a "long time coming".

Wright started well for the club until his playing time minutes significantly decreased later in the season.

In the January transfer window, Wright requested a transfer, during which he was offered a new contract and prepared for his exit from Scunthorpe United.

This came after Reading were keen to sign him and he was keen to move down to the south.

However, his father stated that Wright would be unlikely to move to the club in the January transfer window, but would leave in the summer.

After the failed transfer move in the January transfer window, Wright expected to be back in the first team and earn playing time, as well as withdrawing his transfer request.

Unfortunately, his loss of form and a foot injury that kept him out for the rest of 2010–11 season cost him his first team place.

Despite the loss of form costing him his first team place, Wright, nevertheless, made thirty-six appearances for the club.

At the end of the 2010–11 season, Wright was one of seven players released by Scunthorpe in May 2011.

At the time, Wright was once linked again to a number of Championship clubs, having held discussions.

After leaving Scunthorpe, Wright suffered a foot injury ahead of the 2011–12 season, which prevented him from joining a new club.

In November 2011, he joined Championship side Millwall on a free transfer following a successful trial period.

The club signed Wright on a "short-term deal running until the January 2012 transfer window".

On 3 January 2012, Wright made his debut for Millwall against Bristol City and made his first start before coming off for Jimmy Abdou in the 67th minute of a 1–0 loss.

Millwall subsequently extended his contract until the end of the season.

On 25 February 2012, Wright scored his first goal with a 30-yard volley in a 3–1 win over Burnley.

Wright played for Gillingham between 2015 and 2017, Millwall from 2011 to 2015 and Scunthorpe United between 2009 and 2011.
