Wright: I’m coming to Hawks to get promoted
Vastly experienced striker Daniel Wright arrived as Hawks' second signing of the summer and declared: I'm here to win things.
And the former Cheltenham, Wrexham, Forest Green Rovers and Torquay 37-yearold striker insisted he has not joined the Westleigh Park outfit for a bit-part playing role.
Approaching his 38th birthday in September, Wright – who has signed a one-year deal with Hawks – still turned out 34 times in the National League for Torquay last term, netting six goals.
‘The great thing the gaffer is letting me do is bringing my family along with the journey,’ Wright told The News.
‘Even though I'm talking about family time and the gaffer's making sure it's important for me to have family time as well, it's important everyone understands I'm coming here to win things. I want to win this (National League South) league, I'm coming here to get promoted.
‘I'm really looking forward to them (family) being a part of it and me getting the recovery period for my body and my age to make sure the next day I'm training at 100 per cent. The days off are letting me get 100 per cent committed for the training and for obviously the games on a Saturday and Tuesday, which I'm used to at this level.’
Since being part of Histon's Conference South title win in 2006-07, Wright has played at National League level or above in each of the subsequent 14 campaigns.
He finished as Cheltenham's leading scorer in the 2015-16 season with 22 goals in 43 appearances as they won promotion to the Football League.
