He began at Arsenal, spending 14-years in North London. Willock made two appearances for the Gunners first-team, featuring in the Carabao Cup. The winger eventually moved on to Benfica and signed a five-year contract there, but only played for their reserve team.
Willock returned to England in 2019/20, joining the Baggies on loan but for the four months he was at the Hawthorns, he failed to make a single appearance.
Willock was recalled and he ended up joining Huddersfield Town, where he went on to score two goals in 14 games for Terriers with one of those coming against WBA.
