Wilson started his career with the
Sheffield Prowlers on his 15th birthday in the
Conference League. He was selected as the
Sheffield Tigers reserve for the 2003 season, and after a slow start he continued into 2004, where he showed more promise. In 2005, Wilson moved up to second string in which he partnered
Sean Wilson, and continued to improve his
average throughout the year. In 2006, his form from 2005 was noticed and he was signed to double up with
Wolverhampton Wolves in the
Elite League, as well as riding for Sheffield. He also won the
British Under-21 Championship at the Norfolk Arena, by beating
Danny King and
Lewis Bridger. This result earned Wilson a reserve position at the
British Grand Prix that year. He also came second in the
Premier League Pairs Championship with team-mate
Ricky Ashworth, only beaten by the holders
Glasgow Tigers. In 2007, Wilson was once again re-signed by the
Sheffield Tigers to fill the third heat leader role. In 2009 he was voted Redcar Bears rider of the year. After two seasons out of the sport he signed to ride for
Stoke Potters in the
National League in 2014. He won the
National League Pairs Championship with
Jon Armstrong, held at
Mildenhall Stadium, on 15 June 2014. In 2017, Wilson signed for the
Isle of Wight Warriors. His last season before retirement was in the
2019 National Development League speedway season (the third tier of British speedway) riding for
Plymouth Gladiators. == References ==
