James Wilson, born on 6 March 2007 (age 19), is a Scottish striker whose senior career has so far been shaped at Hearts. The substance of his record is in maroon: 36 league appearances and seven league goals across four seasons.
His most productive league campaign came in 2024-25, when he scored five times in 24 appearances. That was the season which gave his early Hearts career a bit of weight, moving him beyond the stage of being simply another academy name getting minutes.
In 2026-27, Wilson has made four league appearances and scored twice. Across all competitions for Hearts this season, he has four goals in seven games, including one in the League Cup and one in Conference League qualifying.
His current market value is around £1m, according to Transfermarkt. At this point, Wilson’s career is a Hearts career: early, still developing, but already with enough first-team output to be judged on more than promise.
