After surpassing the age limit for youth football and failing to make the step up to the first team he left Meadow Park and joined up with Brockworth in the Northern Senior League. He played for the Mill Lane club until Burns came back to City and answered his SOS when the boss found himself with just a handful of players during the pre-season of 2001-02 season. At the time Wilko was among a team not known for their talent and his flair seemed to stand out. Lacking natural pace, his ability more than made up for it and his adventurous attitude saw him attempt many mazy runs, mostly successful. In his first full season at the club he didn't miss a game and was named as the managers player of the season. Always looking to get forward behind the attack he can be counted on for five or six goals per season. As 'bigger' players arrived at the club Dave found himself either on the sidelines or forced to play a more battling game. The influence of Neil Mustoe rubbed off on Wilko and he became the anchorman of the midfield after Muzzie had left.
