He started his career with neighbours Notts County which earned him his first break in English football’s second tier at Preston North End.

He joined Forest, then in League One, for £300,000 helping them to promotion to the Championship in 2008.

Wilson later moved to Celtic in 2011 and after two years at Parkhead, he returned to the City Ground after Forest paid a reported £2.5 million fee for his signature in 2013.

He played 14 times in all competitions for Forest last term before moving to AESSEAL New York Stadium.
