Joshua William "Josh" Wright (born 6 November 1989) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for League One club Gillingham. Wright signed for Millwall in November 2011, having previously played for Scunthorpe United between 2009–11. He began his career at Charlton Athletic at the age of 17 in 2007, but spent the majority of his two years there on loan at Barnet, Brentford and Gillingham. He also counts Leyton Orient as a former club.
Born in Bethnal Green, London, Wright started his football career at Charlton Athletic, with whom he signed a two-year professional contract in April 2007 at the age of 17 alongside close friend Harry Arter. Before joining Charlton's academy full-time at the age of 16, he attended Chigwell School in Chigwell, and Roding Valley High School in Loughton, Essex. Fellow professionals Lee Sawyer and Billy Lumley also attended Roding Valley High School. while Jordan Spence was in the same year group as Wright at Chigwell. He plays in midfield as a playmaker.
In August of that year, Wright moved to Barnet on loan for what eventually amounted to three months. After a successful spell, which saw him score his first ever goal against and be named Barnet's player of the month for November, he returned to Charlton. A month later, he was re-signed on loan by Barnet for the remainder of the 2007–08 season.
