[1][2][3] Wright was a professional right-arm fast-medium bowler and a right-handed lower-order batsman who frequently contributed useful runs.

After a few matches in 1921 and 1922, he became a regular member of the Kent team in 1923 and remained a regular choice until the middle of the 1931 season, when he lost form and was dropped, not regaining his place in the side.

Both his best batting and bowling performances came in the 1924 season, relatively early in his first-class career.

[1] His aggregates fell away from 1928 as Freeman came to dominate Kent's bowling almost single-handedly, and he was also more expensive from 1928 onwards.

He remained a useful lower-order batsman, and passed 50 nine times in all, scoring more than 500 runs in both 1924 and 1929.
