Template:Spanish name 2 Wílber Mauricio Wright Reynolds (born December 20, 1970 in San José, Costa Rica) is a Costa Rican former soccer defender, a key member of the Costa Rica national team for over ten years.

Club career

Wright started his career at Saprissa[1] and moved abroad to play for Comunicaciones in Guatemala, where he played alongside compatriots Rolando Fonseca, Floyd Guthrie and Jéwisson Bennett.[2] He then played three seasons (1999–2001) in Major League Soccer, split between the San Jose Clash[3] (later Earthquakes) and the New England Revolution, alongside William Sunsing.[4] He scored six goals[1] and added three assists in MLS league play. Wright has also played for Herediano in Costa Rica and AEK, together with Walter Centeno,[5] in the Greek Super League.[6] He also had a short stint in China with Shenyang Ginde.[7]

With Saprissa, he has won three national championships and two CONCACAF Champions Cup, and returned to the team to play his last season as a professional, accomplishing his dream of retiring as a 'morado'.

International career

Wright made his debut for Costa Rica national football team at the December 1995 UNCAF Nations Cup match against Belize and earned a total of 67 caps, scoring 6 goals.[8] After not playing in qualifying rounds, he started in the 2002 FIFA World Cup, scoring a goal.[9] He also played (and scored) in the 1997 and 2004 Copa Américas.

His final international was a July 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup match against Cuba.
