Haji Wright is best remembered by US fans for his improvised backheel finish against Iran at the 2022 World Cup — a goal that sent the Americans through to the knockout stage. A tall, physically strong centre-forward, he spent formative years at Schalke without breaking through, before rebuilding his career in Denmark and Turkey, where regular starts at Antalyaspor restored his confidence and sharpness. Now at Coventry City in the Championship, he remains a credible international option — not a first-choice starter but a player whose size, link-up play, and proven big-game nerve make him a useful squad asset.
