Wright, who is on loan from Bristol Rovers, stood out from his three rivals for the accolade in Morecambe striker Phil Jevons, Port Vale defender John McCombe and Chesterfield`s Danny Whitaker.
He caught the attention of the judging panel having scored six goals in four games last month, including a hat-trick against derby rivals Hereford.
However, Shrews boss Graham Turner lost out on the manager of the month award to Vale`s Micky Adams.
