Wilson is a Strathfieldsaye premiership player in the Bendigo league who has previously played at Colbinabbin, while Booth joins the Grasshoppers from Wangaratta Rovers in the Ovens and Murray league.
Booth, who goes to university in Bendigo, missed all of last year with a shoulder injury.
“He didn’t play this year, but before that was a starting midfielder with Wangaratta,” Colbinabbin coach Nick Knight said on Thursday.
“He’s around that 23, 24 age and is good mates with a few of the Colbo boys, so we’re glad to have him on the board.
“We think he’ll add a bit more class to our midfield group.”
Wilson was a member of Strathfieldsaye’s 2015 BFNL premiership team.
“Jordy will give us a little more grunt through the midfield,” Knight said.
“He presented really well when we spoke to him and he’s confident he’ll be a stronger player than when he left a couple of years ago, so that’s a positive.”
At this stage the only departure from Colbinabbin is the retirement of onballer Russell Douglas.
Colbinabbin this year finished fourth after bowing out to eventual premier North Bendigo in the first semi-final by 25 points.
