'''Douglas Wilson''' (born 3 March 1994) is a Northern Irish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Loughgall in the NIFL Championship.
Wilson began his professional career in England when he was scouted by Hull City, however his full debut came whilst on loan at Grimsby Town in 2013. He has since returned home and has forged a career with both Dungannon Swifts and Ballymena United. He is a former Northern Ireland U21 international.
==Career== Wilson's talents were spotted by Hull City youth scouts when he was playing as a youngster in Northern Ireland and he was soon brought over to England to join the Tigers' youth set-up.
A central midfielder, Wilson made a big impression for City's youth team and captained the side on a number of occasions as they won the Youth Alliance North East Conference title in 2012.
His performances earned the Northern Ireland under-17 and under-19 international a step-up to the club's Development Squad for 2012–13 and having impressed at the reserve team level, he made his first team debut as a second-half substitute in an FA Cup tie against Leyton Orient in January 2013.<ref name="Hull 1 – 1 Leyton Orient">{{cite news | url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/20863586 | title = Hull 1 – 1 Leyton Orient | date = 5 January 2013 | work = BBC Sport | publisher = BBC | access-date = 22 February 2013}}</ref> On 8 March 2013 Wilson joined Grimsby Town on loan for the remainder of the 2012–13 season.<ref name="Grimsby Town sign Hull City's Dougie Wilson on loan">{{cite news | url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/21716441 | title = Grimsby Town sign Hull City's Dougie Wilson on loan | date = 8 March 2013 | work = BBC Sport | publisher = BBC | access-date = 8 March 2013}}</ref>
