Club career

Wilko Risser began his career with Ramblers Windhoek to kick-start his football career and played for until 2003. For 2003/04 season he moved to Germany to SpVgg EGC Wirges. Since he could not prevail there, he moved to another German FV Engers in the 2004/05 season. Once there, but he was not a regular player, he left FV Engers in 2006 and moved to SG Eintracht Lahnstein, where in the 2006/07 season, he scored 20 goals before switching to FC Schalke 04 II. That he left after the 2007/08 season again. On 5 August 2008 he signed with the regional division club SV Eintracht Trier 05 a new contract. For 2010/11 season he was awarded a new contract in Trier and moved to SV Elversberg 07, when his contract was not extended.

After several months without a club he signed in early December 2011 a contract with the Floriana in Malta but left the club after making one appearance on his debut for Floriana after coming on as a substitute for Ryan Darmanin in a 0–0 draw on 3 December 2011.[2][3]

Aldershot Town

Risser signed for Aldershot Town on a short-term deal until the end of the season in February 2012 after a following successful trials.[4] Manager Dean Holdsworth believes Risser will give his side great impetus going forward and also Holdsworth also spoke of Risser's experience.Wilko gives us something different for our strikers to play-off. When I made a phone call to his agent within 20 minutes Wilko was on a plane and made himself available. Currently he is on a short-term contract but he could become a good asset for us. He is well travelled and he wants to prove a few things to people and we can take advantage of that.[5][6]

The day after signing for the club, He made his debut on 14 February 2012 in a 1–0 home win against Hereford United.[7] 4 Days later on 18 February 2012, Risser provided an assist for Aaron Morris to score on a 65th minutes which turns out to be a winner against Macclesfield Town.[8] On 17 March 2012, Risser scored his first goal for Aldershot which turns out to be a winning goal against Bradford City which the match ended 1–0.[9] His second goal came when Risser scored the only goal for Aldershot in a match against League Two struggler Port Vale which Aldershot lose 2–1.[10] His third goal came when Risser scored his third goal and second in the match against Burton Albion in a 4–0 win on 21 April 2012.[11]

Having established a starting berth in Holdsworth side for each of the last four matches – his longest sequence since joining the Shots, Risser is keen to stay at Aldershot at the club – for the next season.[12] Eventually, manager Dean Holdsworth would agreed with Risser by offering him a new contract.[13] Despite the ongoing negotiations, Risser left the club[citation needed].
