He played one match in this team.[1] He was the captain of Hull City team for seven seasons in a row.[2]
Club career
After attending St Lawrence College in Ramsgate, Wright went up to Queen's College in Cambridge, where he soon earned a place in the University XI for three years (1904–06), where he stood out for his excellent ball control and tactical knowledge as an outside left.[1] On leaving Cambridge, he accepted a post at Hymer's College in Hull, teaching Natural History and Science, and in the same year, he was elected captain of Hull City for whom he played 152 league games.[1] After obtaining his degree at Cambridge, Wright later graduated from the Royal School of Mines and in 1913 he went to South Africa as a mining engineer where, apart from a brief spell in America, he spent the rest of his life.
