Josh Wright
A midfielder who brought with him a wealth of experience gained across more than 400 games in the EFL upon signing for the Fleet from Billericay Town in summer 2022. An all-round skilful and visionary midfielder, Wright was a former Charlton Athletic and England international youth who spent two seasons in the Championship with Scunthorpe United. He stayed at that level following a move to Millwall in 2011 before the first of a couple of spells at Leyton Orient.
He was back in Kent in 2015, firing 14 goals from midfield as Gillingham’s captain, winning a number of player of the year awards at Priestfield in 2016/17. After three seasons with the Gills, Wright stayed in League One with Southend United and Bradford City and has since played for Leyton Orient once more and Crawley Town.
He won promotion with the Fleet in his first campaign and took over the captain’s armband last season with his professionalism, fitness and heart-on-sleeve dedication to the club winning him countless admirers amongst the Fleet fanbase.
