Ex-Man City striker once relegated to League One outscored teammate Thierry Henry by 21 goals
His goals quickly made him a hero to fans of the New York side and he still works for the club nowWright-Phillips joined talkSPORT and said his lower league career helped him be the MLS player he became"I went over to train and I just liked it. I had a picture of America just being rubbish and I got there and the training facilities were better than Charlton's, it was better than Brentford, a lot of places I've been.
Despite signing in the latter part of the season in 2013, Wright-Phillips helped his new club win their first major title, the MLS Supporters' Shield, scoring once in seven regular season games. "I think because of the way it was over here, it was embedded in me to go out on the field - I'm saying field - the pitch and just leave it all out there," he said.
