Wileman played for Hugglescote Wesleyans, Gresley Rovers, Nottingham Forest (on trial) and Derby County, before joining Port Vale for a "substantial fee" in June 1938.[1] 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.[1] However, he was only selected once more in the league that season, before being transferred to Hinckley United in August 1939.[1]
