Born in Lisbon, Wilson played youth football for Sporting CP in the city. He was an unused substitute for the reserves in the Segunda Liga on 4 May 2014, in a 1–1 home draw against S.L. Benfica B.[2]

On 3 January 2016, Wilson signed a two-year deal at S.C. Braga, being assigned to their second team of the same level.[3] He made his league debut on 13 February, playing the full 90 minutes of a 1–0 loss at C.D. Mafra.[4] He totalled 17 appearances over the season, being sent off in a 2–0 home defeat to S.C. Covilhã on 27 February[5] and scoring in a 3–2 loss at Vitória S.C. B on 17 April.[6]

Wilson was called up to the first team by coach José Peseiro in place of the injured Lazar Rosić for a Primeira Liga game at home to F.C. Paços de Ferreira on 11 December 2016.[7] He played the full 90 minutes of a 3–0 win.[8]

Tondela

On 26 June 2019, Wilson signed a three-year contract with C.D. Tondela, with Braga retaining 50% of the player's rights.[9] He scored his first top-flight goal on 3 November, the only one late on in a home game against former club Sporting.[10]
