Kelvin Wilson

Kelvin James Wilson (born 3 September 1985 in Nottingham) is an English footballer. He is a centre-back, although he can play at full-back. He currently plays for Nottingham Forest.

Early career

Wilson started his career at Notts County, making his debut for the club in a 4–0 loss to Hartlepool United on 17 April 2004. In 2004–05 he became a regular in their back-line and was named Players' player and most improved player in his first full season.

After 78 league appearances in three seasons, Wilson was judged as one of the lower league's hottest prospects. He was taken on loan in March 2006 by Preston North End, then signed up at the end of the season for a reported £300,000. He only started 16 games in the 2006–07 season and he was linked to a move to Nottingham Forest.

Nottingham Forest

He subsequently signed for Nottingham Forest for £300,000, committing himself to a four-year deal at his home town club. In the 2007–08 campaign, Wilson was a virtual ever-present in defence, as he helped Forest gain automatic promotion to the Championship after finishing second in League One. He made 42 appearances, missing a few games due to a red card in Forest's 2–1 victory over Huddersfield Town and an injury towards the end of the season. Wilson helped Forest amass a total of 24 clean sheets in his first season at the club which was a league record.

In 2009, Wilson could not reproduce his League One form at Championship standard, with the season ending in a relegation battle. On April 13 2009, a red card for a head butt on Sheffield United's Greg Halford saw Wilson's season finish under a black cloud.
