Ben Wilson (born 9 August 1992) is an English footballer currently playing for Championship club Cardiff City.

Career

Wilson began his career with Sunderland in 2006 earning a professional contract in 2010 and played a match with Harrogate Town.[3] He went out on loan to Gateshead and Chesterfield failing to make an appearance for either and was released by Sunderland in the summer of 2013.[4][5] After leaving Sunderland Wilson joined Cambridge United on a non-contract basis on 9 August 2013.[6] He joined Accrington Stanley on 27 August 2013 and made his professional debut on 3 September 2013 in a 1–0 defeat against Crewe Alexandra in the Football League Trophy.[7][8]

He left Stanley after a single Football League Trophy appearance, in November 2013 after his contract was cancelled by mutual consent.[9] He joined Cardiff City in the same month and made a number of under 21 appearances.

On 7 July 2014, Wilson played 10 minutes as a midfielder, against Carmarthen Town in a friendly – he was close to scoring. Wilson has featured on the bench several times during the 2014–2015 season as well as making a number of under 21 appearances. The following season, Wilson signed a new contract keeping him in South Wales until 2017.[10] He made his Cardiff debut against AFC Wimbledon on 11 August 2015 in the League Cup.[11]

Two months later, Wilson joined AFC Wimbledon on an emergency one-month loan deal that was extended. Wilson was signed as a short-term replacement for the injured James Shea. He made his AFC Wimbledon debut on the same day he was signed in a 3–4 League Two away win against Accrington Stanley.[12][13] He returned to Cardiff City on 14 December 2015.[14]
