Richard Wright is finally expected to make his return to the Blues later today. TWTD first revealed that Town were again eyeing their former keeper back in March when former goalkeeper-coach Andy Rhodes was spotted watching West Ham's reserves, a previous move for Wright having failed last summer.
Boss Jim Magilton said: "We are very, very close. Everything is done and dusted as far as we are concerned. We are waiting on the West Ham end now. Richard has passed a medical so everything is at the late stages.â€Â
As reported by TWTD yesterday, Wright is likely to complete his move from the Hammers today and will make his return to the Town goal when the Blues travel to Gillingham for a pre-season game on Wednesday.
A £500,000 fee is believed to have been agreed with West Ham, while Wright is understood to be putting pen to paper on a three-year deal.
Boss Jim Magilton is continuing to look at adding to his squad and says he will hold talks with trialist Ben Thatcher, although there are other clubs interested in the former Charlton left-back.
