Wilks began his professional career with Leeds United, but failed to make a league appearance in his three years at the club. His brother was murdered three days before Wilks made his debut in the FA Cup. He had short loan spells with Accrington Stanley and Grimsby Town, before he spent the 2018–19 season on loan at Doncaster Rovers. He signed a permanent deal with Barnsley in July 2019, though ended the 2019–20 campaign with Hull City following a loan spell. Hull won the League One title in the 2020–21 season and Wilks was named on the PFA Team of the Year. He was sold to Sheffield Wednesday for an undisclosed fee in August 2022.
