Wilson was secured by Collingwood from Norwood in the 1994 AFL Draft with the ninth selection, but first not from a TAC Cup side. The South Australian didn't feature in the 1995 AFL season and then appeared twice for Collingwood in 1996.[1]

He was traded to Sydney at the end of 1996, along with Mark Orchard and two draft picks, for which Collingwood received Anthony Rocca.[2] He played in the opening three rounds of the 1997 season but made only one further appearance.[1]

Politics

Wilson was announced as the Dignity Party candidate to represent the electorate of Dunstan in the eastern suburbs of Adelaide at the 2018 state election.[3]
