Joe Wright, born on 26 February 1995 (age 31), is a Welsh centre-half with the sort of frame managers tend to notice before the ball is kicked. At 6ft 4in (1.93m), he is an imposing defender, currently with Dundee and wearing squad number 26.
His career, though, is overwhelmingly tied to Kilmarnock. Across three league seasons there he made 91 appearances and scored 10 goals, a decent return for a central defender. His most productive league campaign came in 2022-23, when he scored five times in 34 appearances.
At Dundee, Wright has made one league appearance in 2026-27. The broad shape of his career is straightforward: a tall Welsh defender whose professional profile has been built chiefly on his regular football and goal return at Kilmarnock.
