Club career

Hometown club Limon FC

Wilson began at his hometown club Limón. At 13 he bet his coach a car that he would make it to the professional level. [2] He became one of the young players to earn the most playing minutes at the club. [3] However after financial mismanagement and relegation the club was unable to function at the same level. [4] [5]

Municipal Grecia

Wilson was able to join Municipal Grecia on a free transfer in 2021. After a period of time to acclimate, such was Wilson’s form that he garnered interest from abroad, and a bid for his services from an unnamed Polish club was turned down in March 2022. [6]

Gil Vicente

In January 2023 Wilson signed for Portuguese club Gil Vicente F.C. on a free transfer. [7]

International career

[9] He made his senior debut on 3 June 2022 in a match against Panama. [10] He was called up to the final 26-man Costa Rica squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
