Wright, who won the Demons best and fairest in 2017, had signed to play with Coburg Districts in division two of the Essendon District Football League for the 2020 season.
After COVID-19 forced the cancellation of metro and country footy across the state this year, Wright agreed to return to his home club.

The Demons finished fifth on the home and away ladder in 2019 with an 8-8 record and then lost the elimination final to Mt Pleasant.
