Wilson began at his hometown club Limon FC and was one of the young players to earn the most playing minutes at the club.[1] However after financial mismanagement and relegation the club was unable to function at the same level.[2][3] Therefore, 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.[4]
Wilson was called up to the Costa Rica national football team for the crucial 2022 FIFA World Cup intercontinental qualifying eliminator match against New Zealand in May 2022, which Costa Rica ultimately won 1-0.[5] He made his senior debut on 3 June 2022 in a match against Panama.[6]
