Harry Wilson (born 22 March 1997) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Liverpool. In October 2013 Wilson became the youngest player to play for Wales, at the age of 16 years and 207 days, beating a record previously held by Gareth Bale. He also became Liverpool's youngest ever international.
Born in Wrexham, he was schooled at Ysgol Dinas Brân in Llangollen.
Wilson first signed to Liverpool as a member of the U9s squad. Aged 15 he became a full-time member of the Liverpool Academy squad. During the 2012–13 campaign, Wilson featured for the U18s and was a regular face in the U16 side. For the beginning of the next season, he was promoted to the U18s full-time. In 2014 Wilson was joint top scorer with fellow Liverpool youngster Sheyi Ojo at the Ajax Future Cup.
In July 2014 he signed his first professional contract with the club. He competed in the 2014–15 UEFA Youth League in which Liverpool reached the last 16, and scored an 88th-minute winner in a 3–2 home win over Real Madrid on 22 October 2014.
On 11 July 2015, Wilson was named in Liverpool's 30-man squad for their pre-season tour of Thailand, Australia and Malaysia. On 16 August he was crowned best forward of the 2015 PSV Otten Cup.
On 26 August 2015, Wilson joined League One side Crewe Alexandra on youth loan deal for four months until 5 January 2016. He made his debut against Millwall as a 67th-minute substitute for David Fox in a 1–3 loss at Gresty Road on 12 September, and his first start in a goalless draw away to Burton Albion on 20 October. Wilson was recalled from his loan spell on 1 December.
