Perth local Wilson returned afer three years in England with Burnley to sign a one-year deal with the Glory at the start the 2016/2017 season.

Wilson has a made a fast start to his A-League career after debuting in round one. The central midfielder has played eight games so far in this campaign.

Wilson spent time under Lowe as a junior. The ECU Joondalup product told FourFourTwo that returning to Australia from the UK has been good for him.

"I had a lot of advice from a lot of people, the big one that they were saying is that everyone thinks England is the best place for football," he said.

"In some senses the Premier League is huge, but I was thinking of getting first-team football and the A-League is such a high standard I think. Especially for my age as well. Coming back was a really good move for me because I wasn’t even sure I would be getting game-time.

"I was still trying to fight to get game-time. With Kenny Lowe he was a big factor for me. He coached me when I was younger and I feel like I progressed a lot with him. I think I came back for progression and to hopefully get into a first-team environment and so far I’ve been a little successful, and hopefully I can expand on that and get some more starts.

"Personally I’m loving the experience. I’m making my professional debut, getting my A-League debut. Speaking personally, it’s been really positive. As a team I don’t think we’re 100% happy where we are on the ladder and with what we’ve been doing, but I think we’ve got positives to look on.

"We’re in a decent spot in the league and I think we can maybe push on a little bit more before Xmas time and hopefully be in a better spot leading into the second half of the season."

Wilson spent three years with Burnley's academy, including a spell on loan at lower-league club Stockport Country. The 19-year old said he is coming to grips with the pace of the A-League.

"I’m finding it a lot quicker, because obviously I was playing Under-21s with Burnley and then I was loan at Stockport," he said.

"My first few games I was quite blown away with the fast pace of the game. But slowly I’m getting the grasp of the pace of the game. So far so good. When the first game up I was quite surprised actually. I had worked really hard in pre-season, I worked really really hard.

"But the hard work has paid off. It was exciting."

Normally a box-to-box midfielder, Wilso has even appeared at right back this season.

"It turns out apparently it was the best game I had played all year, which was a bit surprising," he said.

"It’s not my position right back but I was buzzing with it [getting picked in the team of the week], I was over the moon."

Perth currently sit in fifth place on the ladder, with 12 points after 10 matches. The Young Socceroo believes the best is yet to come from the Glory.

"We’ve had a couple of injuries that haven’t helped, I think we’ll start picking up now," he said.

|We’ve had a few games now where we should have done a bit better and som we’ve actually been lucky in. From now on we’re going to crack on. We’ve had talks together in the team, we’ve set goals and I think we’re really going to push on in the next few games. I’m really feeling positive."
