Fredonia University

Michael Wright stepped off the soccer field and onto the sidelines as he was named the Fredonia State men's soccer assistant coach in the fall of 2021. He was a member of the Blue Devils the previous four years under head coach P.J. Gondek. Due to the pandemic, Wright missed out on his senior season. Instead of taking advantage of an extra year of NCAA eligibility, he opted to begin his coaching career at his alma mater. 

Wright spent the past four semesters on the Dean's List, graduating with a degree in Sport Management and a minor in Athletic Coaching. He appeared in 39 games as a Blue Devil starting nine of those contests.

Prior to Fredona State, Wright was First Team All-Catholic and Defensive Player of the Year at St. Joe's.
