The 28-year-old has been a standout player since joining Chrys in 2014 from Coventry, scoring 67 goals in 187 appearances for the club.
Wilson’s impressive performances in the Premier League also saw him in the England squad led by Gareth Southgate, as he secured his first call-up in November 2018 for matches against the United States and Croatia.
