The former England U20 international has just finished his second season at New York Red Bulls by equalling the Major League Soccer season scoring record after firing 27 goals to match Chris Wondolowski (2012) and Roy Lassiter (1996).
Not only that, but the former Manchester City, Southampton, Brentford and Charlton Athletic striker has been partnering World Cup winner and ex-Arsenal superstar Thierry Henry in attack with former Everton midfielder and Australian midfielder Tim Cahill just behind.

And in the first part of an exclusive interview with TheFA.com, Wright-Phillips revealed: "Those guys are great to play with, but most of all they are good guys.
"I've learnt a lot from them, and it's sad that Thierry is leaving now. I've learnt a lot from that man and Tim Cahill has been quality with me too, along with the rest of the boys.
"It's nice having those kind of guys around but when they are there you have to pull your weight."
The 29-year-old, son of former England and Arsenal striker Ian Wright and brother of QPR and England international winger Shaun Wright-Phillips, continued: "Obviously as a striker, I learnt the most from Thierry.
"Positionally on the pitch, or when I get a chance in front of goal, things that I wouldn't do before like try and get my body between the man and the ball, there's a lot of things I've learnt.
"Taking my time in front of goal - there's things that I used to rush before, but I now just look at the game a bit differently. Goals, assists, I could go on and on about what that guy has taught me."
A move to a different continent and league provides a challenge for any player - but as a hotshot with a deadly record in front of goal since his move, has the switch to the States helped him develop as much as his stats suggest?
"I have definitely improved since working with Thierry - there's no doubt about that," he said.
"I take my time more with finishing, I start in better positions, but when I was younger I'd waste my energy running just anywhere and didn't really know where a striker should be or when to go short or long.
"I'm 29 now, so I knew about it before I came here, but maybe just not the right timing when to do those things - but Thierry helped me a lot with that and it's shown on the pitch this season."
With life going greatly on the pitch, Wright-Phillips is having just as much fun off it as his young family continues to settle in the US.

And the forward admits he is a little surprised at how well things are looking long-term after originally only planning a short stay.
"At first I wasn't sure about signing," he revealed. "I knew there was a little bit of interest, and Thierry was here and I'm an Arsenal fan.
"But I came over here and the training facilities and stadium are so nice. The people here treat me well.
"Really - I came out here to stay fit until I found something in England, but once I came here I didn't want to leave."
And moving on to his home life, he added: "There's no such thing as a boring day. I live just outside of New York in New Jersey - I like to keep myself close to the training facilities.
"I get into New York a lot, but even here in New Jersey - they are both great places."
He continued: "There's so much fun to be had with the kids, your friends and your partner.
"It's great, not just for me but my family, we all enjoy it. My kids are at school, my fiancé loves it, so I can't complain right now.
"There's a few things I still have to do to settle in properly, but as far as the basics go I'm good. I don't really want for anything, and everyone in my family is cool, so there's not much I can complain about right now.
"I don't miss England yet - I'm having a lot of fun."
