In July 2020, Wright signed a four-year contract with Canadian Premier League side York9 (later renamed York United), becoming the youngest player to sign for the club (at age sixteen),[5] as well as signing the longest contract in club history.[1][6] His signing was expediated by the COVID-19 pandemic, as the club was initially planning to sign him to begin in January 2021, however, due to the inability of some foreign players to come to Canada due to travel restrictions, he was signed in July 2020.[7][8] He made his professional debut for York9 on August 15 against Atlético Ottawa and scored a goal in an eventual 2–2 draw,[9] becoming the youngest goal-scorer in Canadian Premier League history at 16 years, 11 months, and 26 days.[10][11] He scored his first career brace on September 26, 2021, against Valour FC.[12][13]
In August 2022, he transferred to Whitecaps FC 2 of MLS Next Pro.[14][15] On September 24, 2023, he scored the first WFC2 hat trick in MLS Next Pro, against the Tacoma Defiance.[16] Wright was released by the club in May 2024, after having scored 7 goals in 18 games,[17][18] including three goals in three matches in 2014.[19]
In July 2024, he returned to the Canadian Premier League, signing with Cavalry FC.[20][21] He made his debut on July 26 against Vancouver FC.[22] In January 2025, Cavalry announced that Wright's contract had been terminated by mutual consent.[23]
In 2025, he began playing with Langley United in League1 British Columbia, before switching to TSS FC Rovers.[24]
International career
Wright was born in Canada to Jamaican parents.[25] In April 2022, Wright was called up to the Canadian Under-20 side for two friendly matches against Costa Rica in San José.[26] In June 2022, he was named to the Canadian U-20 team for the 2022 CONCACAF U-20 Championship.[27] He appeared in all four of the team's games at the tournament, scoring twice.[28]
