SHAUN WRIGHT-PHILLIPS’ son is looking for a new club after being released by Stoke City.
D’Margio Wright-Phillips, 22, is one of 12 players let go by the Championship side today.
The former Man City and Blackburn youth star joined Stoke in February 2021 and went on to score two goals in 20 appearances.
Wright-Phillips Jr also starred on loan at Northampton Town and Belgian side Beerschot.
But his contract has not been renewed for next season.
And the winger, who is the son of former Man City and Chelsea star Shaun, is now available on a free transfer.
His dad won a Premier League and FA Cup at Chelsea while becoming a cult hero at City.
His grandad is also none other than Arsenal legend and Prem winner Ian Wright.
And Wright-Phillips Jr will be hoping to remain in English football to continue their legacy, having also won several caps for his country’s U16s and U17s side.
There are 11 other ex-Stoke players looking for new homes too.

Sporting Director Jonathan Walters said: “When a young player is offered an opportunity to commence or continue their professional career at a club like ours, it is always a proud moment for them and their families.
“My congratulations go to each of them, as do my thanks to our Academy coaches and staff for their work in developing the homegrown talent that’s so important to our future.
“Three of the departing players – Tom Edwards, Tom Sparrow and D’Margio Wright-Phillips – graduated to play first team football during their time with the Club and that in itself is a significant landmark in a player’s journey.
“In Tom, we are parting ways with a player who has experienced our pathway in its entirety, having joined as a nine-year-old and earned the honour of featuring for Stoke City on 51 occasions.
“We are proud of those achievements and are thankful to Tom and his family for the effort and dedication that has gone into his time here. I’m looking forward to seeing what he will go on to achieve in the future.
“I hope all those who are departing do so having learned a lot from their time with the Club and with every opportunity of enjoying success in their footballing careers.”
