Non-league to Premier League in nine months
He spent his first year at Molineux in Wolves’ under-23s, but Nuno Espirito Santo fast-tracked him into his first-team debut as a late substitute in their final Premier League home game of the 2018/19 season against Fulham. His previous first-team appearance – nine months earlier – had been for Maidenhead in a 3-1 home defeat to Gateshead in the National League.

Kilman made his first senior start for Wolves early in the 2019/20 season against Pyunik Yerevan in the Europa League and also made two Carabao Cup starts before making his full Premier League debut in a 1-1 home draw against Sheffield United last December.
