Jared Andrew Wilson (born 24 January 1989) is an English footballer who plays as a full back for Birmingham City. He made his debut in the Football League on 28 October 2008.
[edit] Playing career
Wilson, from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, played in the under-18 side that reached the quarter-final of the 2007 FA Youth Cup.[1][2] Before the 2007–08 season he signed his first one-year professional contract.[3] He made ten appearances for the reserve team and five for the Academy team that season,[4] after which he was given a further one-year contract.[5]
In the build-up to the 2008–09 season, Wilson was part of the first-team squad and, together with fellow youngsters Jordon Mutch and Sone Aluko, went on the club's pre-season tour to Austria. Manager Alex McLeish described him as "an energetic full-back ... one we think could make a career in football".[6] He was given a squad number and included among the substitutes for the Championship match against Crystal Palace in October 2008, but remained unused.[7][8] A week later, called into the matchday squad at the last minute when Garry O'Connor was injured during the pre-match warm-up, he made his first-team debut as a 12th-minute replacement for the injured Stuart Parnaby in a 1–0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers.[9][10]
Wilson joined Chesterfield of Football League Two in February 2009 on loan for the remainder of the 2008–09 season.[11] He appeared regularly for the club,[12] and in June 2009 signed a year's extension to his Birmingham contract.[13]
