In October 2017, one day after the 2017 UEC European Track Championships in Berlin where Wild won gold at the elimination race, Wiggle High5 announced that Wild would join them for the 2018 season.[6]

On 3 August 2019, after coming first in the RideLondon Classique, she was disqualified after her sudden change of direction before the finish line resulted in a crash involving several riders.[7]
