Paul Wright

While born in England, Paul and his family moved to the United States when he was a child. They settled in northern California where he began playing soccer in local youth leagues. His family moved to San Diego where Paul would join the powerhouse La Jolla Nomads soccer club. In 1989, the Cleveland Crunch of the Major Indoor Soccer League drafted Wright with the sixth pick of the expansion draft. On March 6, 1990, the Crunch traded Wright to the San Diego Sockers. The Sockers, perennial contenders, won the MISL championship that season with Wright named as the Championship Series Unsung Hero. Wright remained in San Diego until the MISL collapsed in 1992.

After playing on teams, such as, Milwaukee Wave, Los Angeles Salsa, Baltimore Blast, Sacramento Knights, and Kansas City Wizards, Paul returned to San Diego in 2006 to join San Diego Fusion. San Diego is where Paul will remain this year as he rejoins the Sockers for the 2009-2010 Season.
