Wilson links up with the North-East outfit – managed by ex-Newcastle United midfielder and Huddersfield Town, Birmingham City and Blackpool boss Lee Clark – to aid their fight against the drop.

The left-sided central defender – who is 20 next week – will get the chance to add to some more first-team football to his CV at Croft Park following a loan spell at Stalybridge Celtic last season.

Wilson, who could make his Blyth debut at Kidderminster Harriers on Saturday, subsequently returned to Turf Moor and signed a first professional contract with the Clarets last summer.

He has since been a regular starter in the U23s, helping them to the top of the northern group of the Professional Development League.

Wilson’s move follows those of U23 team-mates Christian N’Guessan (Oldham) and Ryan Cooney and Adam Phillips (both Morecambe) as the Clarets look to gain first-team experience for as many of their young players as possible.

Meanwhile, striker Will Harris (above) has ended a successful loan spell with Colne to join Warrington Town.

Harris, 19, scored nine times in 12 appearances for Colne and now steps up a division into the EvoStik (Northern) Premier on a month-loan work experience loan with the play-off chasing Yellows.
