Career[edit]

Born in Middlesbrough, Wise began his career with the youth system of York City after signing as a schoolboy.[2] He made his first team debut as a substitute in a 2–1 defeat to Luton Town on 23 February 2002 and impressed manager Terry Dolan.[3][4] He signed a professional contract with York in May 2003.[5] He was substituted in a 1–0 victory over Huddersfield Town in August after suffering a knee injury.[6] He made his return in a 2–1 defeat to Rochdale, before being sent off following a fracas with Paul Connor.[7] He scored after five minutes against Leyton Orient in May 2004, which finished as a 2–1 defeat, a result that confirmed York's relegation to the Conference National.[8] He was told to lose weight to win a new contract at the end of the 2003–04 season, although he decided to leave the club and enroll on a machinery qualification and play as a semi-professional.[9] He made 35 appearances for York in all competitions.[10] Wise later played non-League football with West Auckland Town and Gateshead.[11] He plays for Northern League Division Two team Stokesley as of 2010.[12]

In July 2023, Wise and David Wheater set up W2 Football Academy for boys and girls aged 5 to 11 with the duo coaching them.[13]
