Stumbling upon Phoenix Rising FC's training session, in the heart of Arizona, is like finding a football oasis in the desert.
Hidden behind fences and some flimsy mesh branding are three instantly recognisable faces: Didier Drogba, Omar Bravo and Shaun Wright-Phillips. The trio, situated near tumbleweeds and some way from any major roads, are collectively responsible for 86 international goals, five Premier League titles, a UEFA Champions League trophy, 14 World Cup appearances and more than 400 domestic club goals.
It's here that Wright-Phillips is starting a new chapter in his illustrious career.
The 35-year-old drew headlines when he signed with Phoenix earlier this year.
