Coming off the bench across five international appearances, Wilson contributes consistently as both a ball-carrier and a defender, averaging over four carries and more than three tackles per match. His best outings show genuine capacity to step up his workload significantly, with a peak of 12 carries and 10 tackles in a single game demonstrating he can handle a heavier share of responsibility when called upon. That combination of carrying metres and defensive output makes him a dependable impact option from the replacements bench.
