Who is Josh Wright? Football career, former clubs and incredible Man United moment

Footballer Josh Wright is set to star in a new travel series on BBC One.

The six-part show will follow television personality Mark Wright, his brother Josh and Dad, Mark Sr as they holiday in Britain. While former The Only Way is Essex star Mark is the most famous of the family trio, Josh will be a familiar face to thousands of football fans.

The show follows the Wrights as they mountain bike across Snowdonia, skydive in Skegness and bungee jump off the Garry Bridge in Scotland. Ahead of A Wright Family Holiday hitting screens on Thursday, with all episodes being made available on BBC iPlayer, here’s a look at Josh’s football career, including the moment he shocked Manchester United.

Who is Josh Wright?

Wright, 33, began his career at Charlton Athletic and made his debut for the Addicks in 2008. The midfielder made three appearances in total for Charlton before moving to Scunthorpe United in 2009.

Wright was a regular for the Iron during their two-season stint in the Championship. The midfielder made 71 league appearances for the club, before moving to Millwall in 2011 after Scunthorpe’s relegation from the second tier.

His time at The Den lasted until 2015, clocking up more than 50 games, but saw Wright sent out on loan several times until joining Leyton Orient on a permanent basis. A short stint with the O’s was followed by a move to fellow League One side Gillingham.
