United's skipper and defensive king-pin. 'Wrighty' started his career with Stoke City before moving to Bristol Rovers and then Hull City. He joined Hereford on a free transfer in the summer of 1998, picking up the player of the year award in his first season and also finishing top scorer. A solid defender who is dominant in the air, the 30-year-old is committed to United's cause and played for the final four months of last season with a double hernia problem which needed an operation in the summer.
