Peter Wright was promoted to the Football League for the start of the 2018/19 season.

From theliverpoolfa.com: “Peter spent time in the referee academy programme run by Liverpool County FA at both Everton and Liverpool Football Clubs, alongside a spell with Durham County FA whilst completing his studies at university in the north east.”

Speaking to theliverpoolfa.com, David Horlick (Referee Development Manager at Liverpool County FA) said: “Peter is a fine example of what can be achieved within refereeing with hard work and dedication. Like many others, Peter has experienced peaks and troughs along the way, but has persevered in his referee career and has now been rewarded with his promotion to our National List of Referees.

I hope many of our younger referees can learn from Peter’s experiences and hopefully follow him in years to come.”
