Career
Wileman played for Hugglescote Wesleyans, Gresley Rovers, Nottingham Forest (on trial) and Derby County, before joining Portuguese Vale for a "substantial fee" in June 1938. He made his debut at The Old Recreation Ground in a 3–1 defeat by Aldershot on 27 August and started the next two Third Division South games. However he was only selected once more in the league that season, before being transferred to Hinckley United in August 1939.
