Kevin Adrian Wright (born 12 December 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays for Degerfors IF in Superettan.

Club career

Wright joined Chelsea's academy in 2005 as an under-11.[1] He went on to play for the club's development squad between 2014 and 2016. On 30 June 2016, Chelsea announced that Wright would be leaving the London-based club on the expiry of his contract.[2]

On 1 December 2016, after trialing with Cumbrian side Carlisle United for several weeks, he was finally recruited by manager Keith Curle, along with former Tottenham Hotspur trainee Alexander McQueen on a contract until 1 January 2017.[3] Five days later, Wright made his Carlisle debut in a 3–2 defeat against Mansfield Town in the EFL Trophy, in which he replaced the injured Joe McKee at half-time.[4] On 19 January 2017, it was announced that Carlisle had terminated Wright's contract.[5]

On 27 January 2017, Wright joined Norwegian side Fredrikstad, following his release from Carlisle.[6]
