Club career

Wilko Risser began his career with Ramblers Windhoek to kick-start his football career and played for until 2003. For 2003/04 season he moved to Germany to SpVgg EGC Wirges. Since he could not prevail there, he moved to another German FV Engers in the 2004/05 season. Once there, but he was not a regular player, he left FV Engers in 2006 and moved to SG Eintracht Lahnstein, where in the 2006/07 season, he scored 20 goals before switching to FC Schalke 04 II. That he left after the 2007/08 season again. On 5 August 2008 he signed with the regional division club SV Eintracht Trier 05 a new contract. For 2010/11 season he was awarded a new contract in Trier and moved to SV Elversberg 07, when his contract was not extended.

After several months without a club he signed in early December 2011 a contract with the Floriana in Malta but left the club after making one appearance on his debut for Floriana after coming on as a substitute for Ryan Darmanin in a 0–0 draw on 3 December 2011. [3] [4]

Aldershot Town

Risser signed for Aldershot Town on a short-term deal until the end of the season in February 2012 after a following successful trials. [5] Manager Dean Holdsworth believed Risser would give his side great impetus going forward and Holdsworth also spoke of Risser's experience. "Wilko gives us something different for our strikers to play-off. When I made a phone call to his agent within 20 minutes Wilko was on a plane and made himself available. Currently he is on a short-term contract but he could become a good asset for us. He is well travelled and he wants to prove a few things to people and we can take advantage of that." [6] [7]

The day after signing for the club, he made his debut on 14 February 2012 in a 1–0 home win against Hereford United. [8] 4 Days later on 18 February 2012, Risser provided an assist for Aaron Morris to score a 65th-minute goal which was a winner against Macclesfield Town. [9] On 17 March 2012, Risser scored his first goal for Aldershot which was a winning goal against Bradford City which the match ended 1–0. [10] His second goal came when Risser scored the only goal for Aldershot in a match against League Two struggler Port Vale which Aldershot lose 2–1. [11] His third goal came when Risser scored his third goal and second in the match against Burton Albion in a 4–0 win on 21 April 2012. [12]

Having established a starting berth in Holdsworth side for each of the last four matches – his longest sequence since joining the Shots, Risser is keen to stay at Aldershot at the club – for the next season. [13] Eventually, manager Dean Holdsworth agreed with Risser by offering him a new contract. [14] Despite the ongoing negotiations, Risser left the club. [15]

Chippa United

After leaving Aldershot Town, Risser went on trial with South African Premier Soccer League side Bloemfontein Celtic. [16] Instead, he move to South African Premier Soccer League side Chippa United, until the end of the season. [17] After making one appearance, which turns out to be his last appearance, Risser then left the club [18]
