Scout report
D. Wright is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Dundee, enjoying a standout season — 2 goals and 2 assists in 35 appearances, a Season grade of 32, top 61% of Premiership full-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 25.6, ranking 179th of 225 in the Premiership. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (87.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.34 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wright.
Judged on this season alone, Wright graded 32 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 41 of the 41 full-backs in the Premiership, on 2 goals, 2 assists and 2.335 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 20 → 32). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 33rd of 41 of the 41 full-backs in the Premiership. At 31 Wright is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Dundee finished 9th of 12 · a lower-table side
2.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 87.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 25.6, Wright carries the 33rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premiership of 41, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Dundee finished 9th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
