Joe Wildsmith

Joe Wildsmith of Wycombe Wanderers was born on 28 December 1995 (age 30).

Joe Wildsmith, born on 28 December 1995 (age 30), is an English goalkeeper now with Wycombe Wanderers, where he wears squad number 33.

His early senior experience included a loan spell at Alfreton Town in 2013-14. It was brief, with two league appearances, but those first steps matter for a goalkeeper: senior football tends to be less forgiving than development games, and usually more useful.

At Wycombe in 2026-27, Wildsmith has made two appearances across all competitions, one in League One and one in the EFL Trophy. His career to this point has been that of a working professional goalkeeper, built through early loans and continued first-team squad roles rather than headline-making turns.
