Wright proving a 'priceless commodity' for Dundee

When a football team is struggling, and a manager is looking for answers, being able to call on a "Mr. Versatile" to help find those answers is a priceless commodity.

Drey Wright was a man of many positions – and effective in all of them – at his previous club, St Johnstone and he is performing a similar role at Dundee, who he joined in the summer.

Dangerous in the attacking third, effective at the back and with an engine that can see him get up and down the pitch – the 30-year-old is certainly a valuable asset.

Wright had created seven chances for Steven Pressley's men, the second highest of any Dundee player. Defensively, he's made 45 clearances, 14 interceptions and has won nine out of 16 tackles so far this term.

He has featured at right-back, right midfield and he put in an excellent performance in last Saturday's much needed 3-1 win over St Mirren – a game he started at left back. He also scored his first goal for the Dark Blues in that fixture.

Head coach Pressley knows, in Wright, he has a player who can plug almost any gap in his team, and that isn't doing him justice. The Englishman is someone who does more than merely plug gaps, he has the ability to stand out in whatever role he is given.

Pressley will be hoping that Wright will have a key role to play as his side look to turn a disappointing campaign round over the coming weeks.
