In June of 2013, Bradley Wright-Phillips, the younger and more anonymous brother of Shaun was looking for work.
After finishing out the 2012-13 season on loan at then-League One club Brentford, Wright-Phillips was told that he would need to find a new club as then-Championship side Charlton Athletic would not be offering him a new deal when his contract expired that July 1st.
