At the start of the month, AIK Fotboll Sporting Director Thomas Berntsen revealed that the club had reached an agreement with Kariobangi Sharks for the transfer of the midfielder.
In the friendly against Hammarby, Wilson scored the second goal in the contest that ended 3-1 in their favour. hopes to follow in the footsteps of compatriot Eric ‘Marcelo’ Ouma who succeeded at the club and played slightly over 100 times for the club before moving to Poland.
Stars centre-back Collins Sichenje and former Tusker forward Henry Meja are also attached to the club although the latter has been loaned to third-tier side AFC Eskilstuna.
Since breaking into the limelight following his transfer from National Super League side Darajani Gogo to Sharks last year, Wilson’s football career has been on an upward trajectory.
He secured his first-ever Harambee Stars call-up last year and played a massive role in the national U18 team’s first runner-up finish in the CECAFA tournament held in December last year.
