Name: Ross Wilson

Date of Birth: 16th March 1993

Place of Birth: Keithley

Clubs: Burnley, Silsdon

Signed by Eddie Howe

Claret Debut: Never made a first team appearance 

Claret Stat: Ross is a 6ft winger come striker, who has pace and a trick or two, very remanisent of former Claret Glen Little. He joined the Clarets in 2004 and in 2011 was offered his first professional contract by Eddie Howe.

In February 2012 Burnley boss Eddie Howe realsed Ross with Knowles, Yadolihi and David Lynch. Ross Wilson however moved closer home when he signed on loan to Silsdon for the remainder of the season affectivly ending his Burnley career.

Below is a qoute taken from the Citizen newspaper.

"This Keithley Claret is a real battler and a workhorse and has put himself on the line this season.

He can play down the middle as a striker of either side.

There's a lot to go at yet with Ross, but he's had chances in the reserves as well as the Under 18s and has shown a lot of improvement in the last 12 months.

He like the others will look to players like Jay Rodriguez for what can be achieved.

By all accounts Jay didn't think he was going to get a scholarship, then when he was 18 he didn't think he was going to get a professional contract.

But he has impressed every manager who has been here. Players like Ross have to aspire to follow in his footsteps."
