Career

A product of West Bromwich Albion's academy, Wright was loaned out to Kidderminster Harriers for the first half of the 2015–16 season in order to gain experience of senior football.[2] Wright scored his first senior goal in a 3–1 defeat to Wrexham on 18 August 2015, it was his only goal in 12 league appearances for Kidderminster.[3] The loan spell at Kidderminster was cut short in November 2015 to allow Wright to join fellow National League relegation contenders Torquay United on loan, initially until 2 January 2016.[4] The loan deal was extended until the end of the 2015–16 season,[5] with Wright going on to score three goals in 22 league appearances to help Torquay survive relegation from the National League, at the expense of former club Kidderminster Harriers.[6]

After featuring for West Brom's Under-23 side against Millwall in the EFL Trophy in August 2016, Wright was loaned out to Coventry City until 9 January 2017.[7] Wright scored his first league goal for Coventry City in a 2–2 draw with AFC Wimbledon at the Ricoh Arena, in what would prove to be Tony Mowbray's final game as Coventry City manager.[8]

On 17 January 2017, Wright agreed to join League Two side Yeovil Town on loan until the end of the season,[9] but the deal collapsed on 18 January 2017, due to rules governing the number of clubs a player can represent in one season.[10]

On 1 September 2017, after numerous trials with Football League sides, Wright opted to return to Kidderminster Harriers on a one-year deal.[11] In July 2019 it was announced that Andre had signed for League of Ireland Premier Division side Bohemians until the end of the 2019 season. Wright scored 4 goals in a single game for Bohs as they defeated fellow Dublin club UCD in August 2019.[12]
