One of his former clubs – Brentford – are enjoying life in the Championship. After their play-off disappointment last summer, Thomas Frank’s side are up and competing once again.

Charlton meanwhile are keeping pace in League One. Following their Championship relegation and off-field antics, things are steadying, and in time for the Addicks to hopefully mount a top-six push in 2021.

Plymouth meanwhile are some places behind 7th-place Charlton – the Argyle sit in 14th-place of the League One table after a slow season.

Wright-Phillips though is a striker heralded in USA. English fans might have some memories of the now 35-year-old, who’s made a real name for himself across the pond.
