Villa Want to Keep Rory Wilson Aston Villa are preparing to offer young striker Wilson an extension on his current deal, according to the update from Romano. The young striker has continued to impress for the under-18s since joining from Rangers last year. In his first season for Villa, he scored 15 goals in 20 appearances, which led to him signing his first professional contract after turning seventeen.
Romano mentions that his sensational form, including 15 goals in 9 games so far this season has put him "on the radar of many clubs."
What They Are Saying About Wilson Academy Manager Mark Harrison previously praised Wilson since he moved to Villa Park: "We have all been really pleased with his development since he has joined us, which has now seen him involved in the Under-21s on a regular basis."
He continued: "Rory has continued to score goals at all levels since he joined us in the summer, and we look forward to watching him develop over the coming years."
Scotland under-15s and under-16s coach James Grady previously praised the young Scotsman: "Honestly, what a great kid you've got there and a great family behind him," James said. "The sacrifices he and his family made earlier in his career doing all of them miles from little old Girvan... it's incredible." Grady continued: "the kid is obsessed with becoming the best."
The Potential of Wilson The young Scottish striker is a massive talent - who has shown he knows where the goal is. He is physically strong and technically astute - and has the characteristics all strikers crave - being in the right place at the right time. He is all about scoring goals, which will delight the Holte End faithful, who will hope this promising youngster fulfils his obvious massive potential.
