Drey Wright was born on 30th April 1994 in England and is a forward, primarily playing as a right winger. Currently in his stride at St Johnstone, he stands 5ft 9in (1.77m) tall and weighs 10st 12lb (69kg). He takes to the pitch garnishing the number 14 jersey. According to Transfermarkt, Wright's market value is approximately £255k, whilst his existing contract with St Johnstone is due to run out on 31 May 2025.
Wright embarked his football journey in earnest with Colchester United in England's League Two, joining in July 2012. His debut season, 2012 - 2013, witnessed Wright on the pitch 21 times, netting three times in league matches. Wright's appearances for Colchester United gradually rose, albeit with some variability; 28 times in 2013 - 2014, four times in 2014 - 2015, eleven times in 2015 - 2016, 42 times with two goals in the 2016 - 2017 season, and 28 times in 2017 - 2018.
Seeking greener pastures, Wright transferred his loyalties from Colchester United to St Johnstone in Scotland's Premiership in July 2018. His tenure at St Johnstone was marked with some solidity; 14 appearances with one goal in 2018 - 2019, 22 appearances in 2019 - 2020, 38 appearances with seven goals in 2022 - 2023, nine appearances in 2023 - 2024 and, so far in the 2024 - 2025 season, eight appearances with a goal to his name.
However, Wright's journey took a detour as he transferred from St Johnstone to Hibernian in Scotland's Premiership in July 2020. Wright's voyage with Hibernian was relatively short-lived, taking to the pitch 20 times with one goal in 2020 - 2021, and 17 times with one goal in 2021 - 2022.
In a turn of events, Wright's journey brought him back to St Johnstone, making another transfer in July 2022. Rekindling his previous pattern, Wright made 14 appearances with one goal in 2018 - 2019, 22 appearances in 2019 - 2020, 38 appearances with seven goals in 2022 - 2023, nine appearances in 2023 - 2024 and, in the current 2024 - 2025 season, eight appearances with one goal. Wright's contribution to St Johnstone has extended past the league matches, including four starts in the League Cup 2024 - 2025.
