Biography of USMNT player Haji Wright who plays his club soccer for Coventry City in the Championship.
Caps: 15 | Goals: 4

Haji Wright played at every level for the USMNT before debuting for the senior squad during the June 2022 friendlies and called in during the September window. That gave him just enough time to claim a spot on the 2022 World Cup roster, subbing on in the group stage opener and starting the second game. At club level, Wright signed with the New York Cosmos in 2015, moving to Schalke and playing for their youth side in 2016. By 2018-19 he was getting Bundesliga appearances. Wright moved to VVV Venlo in the Netherlands for the 2019-20 season, joining Superliga club Sonderjyske for the 2019 season. Wright went on loan to Antalyaspor in Turkey in 2021-22, joining permanently following the season. Wright transferred to Coventry City in the Championship in August 2023.
