Kelvin Wilson

Kelvin Wilson was born in Nottingham, England on 3 September 1985 (age 40).

Kevin Wilson, an Englishman born on the 3rd of September, 1985 stands at a height of 6ft 1in tall (1.87m) and weighs approximately 12st 1lb (77kg). His career start was marked by his joining Notts County as a trainee in July 2002, and he played there until March 2006. Wilson, primarily known for his defensive skill set as a central defender, made a total of three first team appearances in league matches in his debut season of 2003-2004. His performance escalated the following seasons, making 41 first team appearances and scoring two goals in 2004-2005, and later making 34 first team appearances scoring one goal in the 2005-2006 season.

Wilson's career transitioned in March 2006 when he moved from Notts County to Preston North End for an undisclosed fee, continuing his football journey in England. Here, Wilson made 21 first team appearances and scored one goal in the 2006-2007 season. In July 2007, the defender was transferred to Nottingham Forest with a transfer fee that rounded around £300k. His stay at Nottingham Forest saw a mixed bag of appearances, the majority of which came in the seasons 2007-2008, 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 with 42,36 and 35 first team appearances respectively.

Kevin Wilson arrived at Celtic in July 2011, thus stepping into Scottish Premiership. His time with the Hoops was rather eventful. In his inaugural season 2011-2012, he made 15 first team appearances. However, his performance surged quite considerably in the following season 2012-2013 where he made 32 first team appearances. Therefore, marking his prominent role in Celtic’s defence throughout his stay, and providing a layer of reliability at the back. His stint at Celtic ended in August 2013 with Wilson returning to Nottingham Forest, this time the fee floating around £2.5 million.

After returning to Nottingham Forest, Wilson's appearances fluctuated quite drastically and his stint this time was not as prolific as his previous one. Following his spell at Nottingham Forest, Wilson moved to Rotherham United in August 2016, where he made eight first team appearances in the 2016-2017 season. As of June 2017, Wilson's career took another turn, although the specifics of the club he transferred to and the league he played for were not disclosed.
