The world number two was a special guest at Blackpool’s Squires Gate training ground on Tuesday as he met Neil Critchley’s squad.
Wright also gave some darting tips to players, watched on as five competed in a nine-dart challenge and then took on winner Gary Madine – whom the Gazette understands is continuing his rehab with the club following serious injury last season – in a special match.
