James Wilson, a promising forward gracing the ranks of Hearts, was born on Mexican soil on the 6th March 2007, rendering the lad a jolly youthful 18 years in human timeline. He's a Scottish lad by blood, having represented his homeland on the international stage. The young striker, standing at a respectable 5ft 10in (or 1.78m for those who dabble in metric), and tipping the scales at 11 stone (a lean 70kg), dons the number 21 on his jersey, as he leads the attacking line for Hearts.
His value in the complex and often perplexing world of football economics has been pegged at around £1m, as per the folks over at Transfermarkt. Darting his eyes into the future, Master Wilson will find his current contract with Hearts dwindling to dust on the far-off date of 31st May 2026, provided no extension pen is put to paper prior.
The kid cracked the first team in the 2023-2024 season at Hearts, making a humble duo of appearances. Yet, fast-forward to the current season of 2024-2025, and the young bloke's name has been on the teamsheet a whopping 20 times and he's netted a goodly tally of five goals.
In the immediate past, the 2024-2025 Scottish Cup, the lad has featured for Hearts in three capers, starting one and stepping onto the pitch mid-game on two others. Appearances in the Europa League Qualifiers, Nation's League, and Conference League bear testament to the young man's talent and potential.
