Career
[edit]Wilson's talents were spotted by Hull City youth scouts when he was playing as a youngster in Northern Ireland and he was soon brought over to England to join the Tigers' youth set-up.
A central midfielder, Wilson made a big impression for City's youth team and captained the side on a number of occasions as they won the Youth Alliance North East Conference title in 2012.
His performances earned the Northern Ireland under-17 and under-19 international a step-up to the club's Development Squad for 2012–13 and having impressed at the reserve team level, he made his first team debut as a second-half substitute in an FA Cup tie against Leyton Orient in January 2013.[2] On 8 March 2013 Wilson joined Grimsby Town on loan for the remainder of the 2012–13 season.[3]
