Tyreik Wright

Career
Tyreik gained his professional contract at Aston Villa in the 18/19 season. Although he didn't make an appearance for the first team that year, the next 4 seasons (19/20-22/23) he had a handful of games where he scored 2 and assisted 3 in 18 games mostly from the bench. To give the lad more game time, he was loaned out to Southampton where he performed very well. Assisting 8 and scoring 5 helped them to a Championship play-off position but unfortunately no promotion. Gateshead realised that Aston Villa decided to release the winger at the end of the 23/24 season, so decided to bring him in to play for the North East side. In his first season for Gateshead, he played well, assisting 6 and scoring one. This pushed him forward through to the 25/26 season, he again played well, assisted 8 goals in 36 games. He looks to improve on this for his third season at the club. With players like Schonfelder, Mighten and Mariguso new available in his position. Wright lost out in alot of game time during the 26/27 season. He only play 27 games but still managed 2 goals and 4 assists. Gateshead were promoted to the Championship at the end of the season and with the massive depth in left wing, Ireland decided to let Tyreik leave. A "club record received" fee of £550,000 came in from Oldham and was happily accepted by the board. He finished his Gateshead career with 3 goals and 18 assists from 97 appearances.
