Career

[edit]

Born in Cyprus, Wyllie began his career in Cyprus with APOEL,[1] moving to England at the age of 17.[4][5]

Upon returning to England, Wyllie played non-league football with Chesham United Reserves, Risborough Rangers, Berkhamsted and Enfield Town.[6][7][8][9]

Wyllie signed for Gillingham for an undisclosed fee in July 2024, his first full-time professional contract.[10][11][12][13] Prior to turning professional with Gillingham, he worked in a Special Education school.[4] Gillingham manager Mark Bonner said he was looking forward to working with Wyllie.[14]

Wyllie made his professional debut on 13 August 2024 as a 66th minute substitute in a 3–1 away defeat to Swansea City in the first round of the EFL Cup.[15] He scored his first goal for the team in a 3–1 defeat to Crystal Palace under-21s in the EFL Trophy.[16]
