Donovan Junior Wilson (born 14 March 1997) is an English footballer who plays as a forward for Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Career

Wilson began his career at Bristol Rovers, signing a one-year deal in May 2014.[2] However, despite appearing on the substitutes' bench in several league games, he did not make a first team appearance for the club.

He initially joined Wolves in a loan deal in November 2014[3] with a permanent deal having been already agreed for a reported £50,000;[4] this was finalised once the January transfer window opened.[5]

Although the forward did not make any first team appearances during the remainder of the 2014–15 season nor the entire 2015–16 season, the club took up their option of an additional year.[6] He went on to play in the Football League Trophy for the club during the following campaign and made his FA Cup debut on 18 February 2017 as a substitute in a 0–2 loss to Chelsea.[7]

He signed to Wolves until summer 2018 (with the option of a further year).[8]
