Earlier in his career, Wilson came through the youth ranks at Sheffield United before joining Hallam FC following his release.

He joins a Shaymen side currently 9th in the National League, with two wins, three draws and one defeat from their opening six league matches.

Taking to social media, Wilson said: "I've loved every second of my time at Belper, high or low.

"The staff, managers and my team-mates have been some of the best people I've ever come across, and it was a pleasure to put on that shirt every week.

"The support, home and away, was incredible. You, the fans, stuck by us through everything, turned up in numbers and sang our songs. Last season really showed me how special the club is.

"Thank you for the love and support you've shown me, week in, week out. I wish you all the very best."
