From the rich tapestry of Scottish football, defender, Ewan Wilson, has certainly carved out a notable career. Born on 19 November 2004, the native Scotsman currently plies his trade at Motherwell, primarily as a left back. With a height of 5ft 10in (1.79m) and a solid weight of 12st 8lb (80kg), Wilson is indeed a formidable presence on the pitch. His prowess is evident no matter what jersey he dons, although he most regularly sports the number 23.
The stalwart's current market value is widely reported to be around £430,000, according to the reputable Transfermarkt. As it stands, his contract with Motherwell is set to expire on the 31st of May 2025, which is in just 4 short months.
Wilson's professional journey set sail in July 2013 when he joined Motherwell as a starry-eyed trainee. Cut to the current season (2024 - 2025), and Wilson has achieved a commendable tally of one goal from 24 first-team appearances with the club. However, it wasn't a straightforward journey from trainee to first team regular at Motherwell, as Wilson had stints away on loan to gain vital footballing experience.
In September 2022, Wilson was shipped off to Albion Rovers in the Lowland League, where he amassed 16 first team appearances in the 2022 - 2023 season. When the loan spell ended in June 2023, Wilson returned to Motherwell and reinforced his place in the team, scoring his maiden goal in the current 2024 - 2025 season.
The 2023 - 2024 season saw another loan move for Wilson, this time to Stirling Albion in League Two. Like a boomerang, he made his way back again to Motherwell in June 2024 and continued to hold his own in the starting eleven. This season, besides his league appearances, he has turned out seven times for Motherwell in the League Cup and once in the Scottish Cup.
While the young footballer may have had a few changes in scenery throughout his career, his performance and dedication on the pitch remain steadfast. His time at Celtic is yet to come, but should that day arrive, rest assured he will embrace the opportunity with open arms and a thirst for success.
