Benjamin "Ben" Wright (born 1 July 1980) is an English footballer who is a player and co-coach of Nelson Suburbs.
Wright spent the first 13 years of his life in Münster, Germany, where his father had a teaching job within the British Army[1] before the family returned to the United Kingdom, settling in Lincolnshire.
He found first-team opportunities hard to come by, though he did spend a week on trial with Bolton Wanderers and a month on loan with Woking.
He spent two seasons with Viking and attracted attention when he came on as a substitute and scored a 90th-minute header against Chelsea in a UEFA Cup first round, first leg, match at Stamford Bridge in September 2002.
Recovering fitness, he spent the remainder of the 2006 season on loan to the Norwegian championship side Moss FK.
