Kane Wilson (born 11 March 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left back for Premier League club West Bromwich Albion.
Club career
Wilson came to West Bromwich Albion at the age of 7, alongside Sam Field, and they were joined by Jonathan Leko three years later: all made their professional debuts in 2016.[2] He spent most of the 2015–16 season in their under-18 team, making only three appearances in the under-21 team, all as a substitute. However, he was fast-tracked into the first team for their summer tour to Austria. He played his first senior game against Paris Saint-Germain and his first start against Torquay United.[2]
He made his competitive debut in the EFL Cup first round away to Northampton Town on 23 August 2016, coming on in the 70th minute for fellow debutant Brendan Galloway. The game ended as a 2–2 draw which his team lost 4–3 on penalties.[3]
Five days after his debut, Wilson was named in West Brom's squad for their Premier League game against Middlesbrough at The Hawthorns. Had he come onto the pitch, he would have been the league's first player born in the 2000s.[2]
International career
Wilson has represented England at U16 and U17 level. In October 2016, Wilson represented England U17 in a 5-0 win over Croatia and an 8-1 win over Germany.[4]
Personal life
Wilson received his GCSE results in the week before his professional debut. His grades were two A's, four B's and five C's.[2]
