Jake's the Wright man for Town
The 21-year-old striker has signed a deal that will keep him at the CNG Stadium until the end of the season, having impressed while at the club on a temporary basis earlier in the campaign.
Wright joined Town from the Blades on a three-month loan in September and found the net during a 5-1 demolition of AFC Telford United, before suffering an injury that saw him sidelined for the rest of his spell in North Yorkshire.

“Jake is a player who I think very highly of. He’s got a lot of potential and will score goals,” the Town manager said.
“He’s a finisher and offers us something a little bit different. He’s a good addition.
“I felt it was important to add to the group after Aingey left, so I’m pleased that Jake has come back.
