Born in Bottesford near Grantham, Wright joined Sussex in 2004, having started his career at Leicestershire.

He made his One Day International debut on 5 September 2007 against India. ==County career== Wright hit a century on debut for Sussex, and has won the Denis Compton medal on three separate occasions during his domestic career.〔(Luke Wright ) at Cricinfo retrieved 3 September 2007〕 On 26 June 2007 he smashed his maiden domestic Twenty20 Cup century, scoring 103 from only 45 balls, including 11 fours and six sixes before being bowled by Yasir Arafat in Sussex's 7 wicket win over Kent at Canterbury.
