Career
[edit]Wilson, a right footed left back, started his career with Norwich City for whom he made 25 appearances. He joined Bristol Rovers in 2000, where he remained two seasons. In 2002, he joined Cambridge City, where he remained for less than a month before joining Southend United.
After a slow start getting into the squad, Wilson was a permanent place on the Southend team sheet, with some solid displays. He is not well known for his goal scoring, but during the 2005–06 season he put a goal past promotion rivals Brentford in a 4–1 win, and also netted in the 3–0 win against Colchester United at Layer Road. Wilson was at the club since the 2003–04 season, and played in both Football League Trophy finals and the play-off final, making over 100 appearances for the club.
He signed for Brentford in a one-month loan deal on 16 January 2007.[2] He played four games for Brentford before returning to Southend at the end of his one-month loan period.[3] He joined Rotherham United on loan in March 2008.
Wilson was released by Southend United at the end of the 2007–08 season.[4]
