Joe Wright, a sturdy defender celebrating his 29th winter, hails from England. Known for his immovable presence in the heart of the defence, his figure dominates the pitch standing at a substantial 6ft 3in and weighing in at 12st 6lb. At present, he bulwarks Kilmarnock's defence, sporting the number 4 jersey.
His participation in the Scottish Cup and the Europa League Qual. is meritorious, given his two starters in each. Although the degree of tenacity shown in these matches is left to the observers' judgement, the fact of participation speaks for itself.
Wright's trials of skill commenced in Accrington Stanley during the season of 2015 - 2016 where he graced the pitch in 20 first team matches. His perseverance was apparent as his name featured consistently in the squad list.
His journey continued at Doncaster Rovers through the seasons of 2016 - 2017 and 2017 - 2018 making 22 and 25 first team appearances respectively. It was evident how valued he was as a steadfast component of the team's defence.
Currently, Wright is laying his footballing craft in Scotland's Kilmarnock where he has been relentless in his services. In the 2022 - 2023 season, he not only proved his worth defensively but also posed a threat in the opposite box scoring five goals in 34 appearances. A similar tale was woven in the next season with Wright showcasing his prowess scoring thrice in 29 games.
However, the current season of 2024 - 2025 stands out as an anomaly in his otherwise illustrious tenure at Kilmarnock, with no appearances to his name so far. The reasons behind such a circumstance are left to speculation at the moment.
