Bailey Wright: Sunderland's Socceroos scholar on 13-year adventure abroad

For the 13 years, Bailey Wright has been based in the UK plying
his trade in some of the physically toughest leagues in the
world.


While millions of people across the globe watched the Netflix
documentary, Sunderland 'Till I Die, Bailey is one of very few
who’ve witnessed and been a part of Sunderland’s rebuild after
joining the club in 2020.


The Socceroos defender talks through his football experiences at
the Black Cats, while also delving into his interests off the
field, which currently include a study on Football Australia as
part of his sports business directors degree.


Bailey talks through some of his fondest Socceroos memories and
his assessment of being dubbed one of the nicest players in camp,
but he also explains what it’s like to deal with heartbreaking
moments like missing out on the World Cup and how they’ve added
fuel to his desire to always get better.


Bailey provides a fascinating insight into his life as a
professional footballer and what it’s like to mark the likes of
Wayne Rooney and Sergio Aguero.


Plus, he shares some cracking stories from his time time as a kid
playing grassroots football.
