Wilson signs a two year deal with the club, despite Perth describing "interest from a number of other clubs around the Hyundai A-League."

Wilson was born in the Botswanan capital of Gabarone, in Southern Africa, before moving to Australia at 10-years-old. 

He's made 37 league appearances for Perth and has accumulated four caps for the Australian U/23 national team.

"I think the biggest thing for me was Popovic signing on," Wilson said.

"I spoke with him and he said he wants me at the club, he wants to teach me and improve my game, which was great to hear. Popovic's understanding of the game is exceptional, he's very supportive of young players as well, which is massive.

"Another major factor for me is the fans, they're unreal every week and it's always great to play in front of them."
