CB: Jake Wright
281 appearances/0 goals
2009/2010 (loan) 2010-2016
Next on the list is former captain, Jake Wright. The centre back is the only player in this eleven that was part of both promotion winning sides.
Wright spent his early career in non-league with Halifax and Crawley, before joining League One side, Brighton.
The defender was then loaned out in January to Oxford where he made 26 appearances as the U’s won promotion to League Two.
Wright then joined Oxford on a permanent basis and became an integral part of the U’s team. The defender was appointed club captain in 2011 and won promotion to League One under Appleton in 2016.
That same season, the U’s reached the Football League Trophy final but was dropped to the bench, thus accentuating his imminent departure from the club.
And following promotion, Wright and the club parted company with the defender having made 281 appearances for the U’s, but failed to score during his time with the club. He is also the longest-serving player of the decade.
