Ben Wilson (born 9 August 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL Championship club Coventry City.
[6] He joined Accrington Stanley on 27 August 2013, and made his professional debut on 3 September 2013 in a 1–0 defeat against Crewe Alexandra in the Football League Trophy.
[7][8] Wilson left Stanley after a single Football League Trophy appearance for the side in November 2013; his contract was terminated by mutual consent.
[12][13] However, having let in a goal from a speculative long free-kick taken by Jerome Okimo from inside his own half during a 2–1 defeat to Stevenage,[14] Wilson became embroiled in a social media row with Wimbledon supporters after they criticised his performance on the website Twitter.
[26] He began the 2020–21 season in the same role, but made his league debut for the club as a late substitute in a 1–0 win at Cardiff, due to an injury to Marosi.
However following the arrival of Simon Moore[29] ahead of the 2021–22 season, Wilson reverted to the role of substitute keeper as the club mounted a play-off push over the course of the campaign.
Following a strong previous campaign Wilson began the 2023–24 season as the club's first choice goalkeeper, however he eventually lost his place in the side to summer arrival Brad Collins and reverted to substitute keeper.
