Drey Wright, born on the 30th of April 1994 in England, is a former Celtic player who is known for his agility and versatility on the field. Currently, he plays primarily as a right winger for Dundee donning the number 7 jersey, displaying his offensive prowess from a variety of positions. Standing at a height of 5ft 9in (1.77m) and weighing around 10st 12lb (69kg), his physique adds to his special abilities on the field.
Wright has seen his expertise recognised in the footballing world as his current market value comfortably sits at around £170k. The valuation provided by Transfermarkt, a reliable source for player market values, ensures Wright's respectable standing in the football scene.
In July 2012, Wright embarked on his professional career, joining Colchester United in England's League Two. The following seasons saw steady appearances. In his debut season (2012 - 2013), he made 21 first-team appearances and scored three goals in league matches. In the subsequent seasons before his transfer in July 2018 to St Johnstone, Wright made a consistent appearance in league matches, proving his value to the club.
Switching allegiances to St Johnstone, Wright continued to make consistent appearances as well as displaying his goal-scoring capabilities, particularly in seasons 2022 - 2023 and 2024 - 2025 where he scored seven and one goals respectively.
His next move, in July 2020, saw Wright transfer to Hibernian and continue his impressive run. In his first season (2020 - 2021) at Hibernian, he made 20 first-team appearances scoring once, and followed it up with 17 appearances in his final season with the club (2021 - 2022).
Unexpectedly, in July 2022, Wright decided to return to his former club, St Johnstone, and he did so with a renewed vigour. Again, his regular appearances and goal scoring contributions were evident, cementing his position in the squad.
Finally, in July 2025, Wright moved to Dundee in the Premiership. Despite being new to the club, he has already made an impact with 13 first team appearances and one goal in league matches in the ongoing season (2025 - 2026). In addition to his league contributions, he also participated in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Dundee with three starts and one appearance as a substitute.
Despite an extensive journey that has seen Wright play for various clubs across England and Scotland, one can't forget his remarkable stint at Celtic where he gave his best years and will always be remembered by the loyal Celtic faithful.
