In February 2010, Wilson signed a new contract with the club until 2013. [11] After Portsmouth dropped out to the Championship, Wilson received a T-shirt with the number 6 from the club (he had previously performed under the number 35) and a captain's armband . At the age of 22, he became one of the youngest captains in the history of Portsmouth. However, on August 25, 2010, Pomp head coach Steve Cotterill announced that Wilson could leave the team because he is interested in Premier League clubs [12] .

"Stoke" finished the season in 9th place, which was the best result of the team in the league since 1975 [19] . The following season, Mark spent 30 matches for “potters”, and “Stoke” again finished in 9th place [20] .

Team Career
Mark Wilson has been the subject of a dispute between the Irish Football Association (representing Northern Ireland ) and the Football Association of Ireland (representing the Republic of Ireland ). In 2002, Mark played for the national team of Northern Ireland until the age of 15, but then began to play for the youth teams of the Republic of Ireland. In 2006, Wilson said: “I think every person has personal reasons why he wants to play for the national team of the Republic or for the national team of the North. I grew up a fan of the Republic, so for me it was an easy decision ” [28] .
On February 8, 2011, Wilson made his debut for Ireland's first national team in the Nations Cup match against Wales. [29] In January 2012, the new head coach of the Northern Ireland team, Michael O'Neill, invited Wilson to play for Northern Ireland, but Mark refused. [30] On October 16, 2012, Wilson scored his first goal for the Irish national team in a qualifying match for the World Cup against Faroe Islands with a long-range shot from 25 yards.
After joining the Martin O'Neill team, Wilson began to play in the position of the central defender. In the game against Latvia on November 15, 2013, Wilson made a connection in the center of defense with John O'Shea . The Irish won this match 3-0 [31] .
On May 23, 2016, Martin O'Neill included Wilson in the expanded squad of the Irish national team for the European Championship , but subsequently Wilson was injured and was unable to participate in the final part of the tournament [32] .
