22-year-old Wright joined Argyle in early January 2023, signing for an undisclosed fee from Blackpool on a three-and-a-half-year contract.
As a youngster, Huyton-born Wright had spells with Tranmere Rovers, Everton and Blackburn Rovers before signing for Leicester City before he turned 18. He made his first appearance for the Foxes under-21 side in the Football League Trophy in 2018 at Rochdale and continued his development in the same competition the following season, making five appearances before Leicester bowed out at Newport County.
In 2020-21, Wright bagged his first goals for Leicester’s under-21s, also in the Football League Trophy before the opportunity to join Cheltenham Town on loan arose and he made the switch to the Robins for the second half of the season, finding the net four times in 17 games as Michael Duff’s side claimed the League Two title. Wright returned to Cheltenham the following season and found the net nine times in 37 matches as well as providing seven assists in a productive and impressive campaign.
His performances caught the eye of several clubs, including Argyle, while Leicester extended Wright’s contract, with the young midfielder featuring during the Premier League side’s pre-season fixtures. A deadline day move to Blackpool followed, offering Wright the opportunity to test himself in the Championship. After 10 appearances for the Seasiders, he made the switch to Home Park, becoming Steven Schumacher’s third signing of a busy transfer window.
