Mark Wilson (born February 9, 1979) is an English professional football (soccer) football midfielder, who currently plays for Doncaster Rovers in England. He has represented England at Under-21 level.
Wilson was born in Scunthorpe and began his career as a trainee with Manchester United, turning professional in August 1997. He joined Wrexham on loan in February 1998 until the end of that season and made his league debut for Wrexham on February 24, 1998 when he came on as a 38th minute substitute for injured goalkeeper Mark Cartwright in the game away to Burnley. With the score at 1-1 and no reserve keeper on the bench, midfielder Gareth Owen went in goal and Wrexham went on to win with Wilson scoring the winner[1].
He finally made his Manchester United debut on October 28, 1998, starting the 2-0 League Cup win at home to Bury, and played once more, again in the League Cup that season. He failed to establish himself at Old Trafford, although did play in the Champions League and the Premiership before leaving to join Middlesbrough in August 2001 for £1.5 million, as part of a £3.5 million deal that also took his teammate Jonathan Greening to the Riverside[2]. Unable to settle at Boro, he had loan spells with Stoke[3], Swansea[4], Sheffield Wednesday[5], Doncaster[6], and Livingston[7] before joining FC Dallas in the spring of 2005, finally getting clearance to play on September 1, 2005.
He was released by Dallas in August 2006 and returned to England, having an unsuccessful trial with Bradford City in October that year[8]. He joined Doncaster on a short term contract the following month[9] and during the January 2007 transfer window signed an 18 month deal with Rovers[10].
