Wilson made his first appearance for 'The Black Sticks' against Korea in New Zealand on November 2007 at the age of 17. He scored his first goal against the number one (at the time) Australian team at Sydney Olympic Park. Known for his attacking style of play, he is touted as one of New Zealand's next field hockey stars.
In 2010, Wilson became the first New Zealander to be nominated for the International Hockey Federation's (FIH) Young Player of the Year award. He was also named in the FIH All Stars team of players who "lit up the hockey world over the past year".
