Akil Wright, born on 13 May 1996 (age 30), is an English central defender with Ross County. He is a steady, established professional rather than a name that needs much dressing up.
His strongest league return came with County in 2024–25, when he scored four goals in 38 appearances. For a centre-half, that is a useful contribution, especially at a club where defenders tend to earn their keep in less decorative ways.
In 2026–27, Wright has made nine appearances for Ross County in all competitions, including four in League One and five in the League Cup, with one goal. Transfermarkt currently values him at around £170,000.
Wright’s profile is that of a working defender with a solid spell at Ross County behind him and a continuing role in their squad. His career has been built on regular senior football rather than noise around it.
