Sullivan, aged 18, has arrived at the Cannon Clarke Stadium @ Twerton Park on a non-contract basis after being released by Plymouth Argyle.
Wilson has joined the Romans on loan from their Enterprise National League South rivals Dagenham & Redbridge.
He made 16 league appearances for the East London outfit this term, scoring twice. Among those appearances was a 73-minute outing against Bath at the Cannon Clarke Stadium @ Twerton Park on Saturday 8th November in a match that ended goal-less.
Having played in the Championship for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Wilson had a spell with City in the 2020-21 season, which was declared null and void because of COVID.
Now aged 28, Wilson has also played in the Football League for Port Vale, Exeter City, Macclesfield Town, Sutton United and Grimsby Town and turned out for two clubs in Spain’s third tier.
He will remain with Bath until the end of the campaign.
The Romans have extended until the end of the season the loans of defender Jaiden Putman and midfielder Ruebin Sheppard.
Bath were beaten by the weather yet again, as their scheduled National League South match at home to Hemel Hempstead Town on Saturday 7th February was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch.
The game at the Cannon Clarke Stadium @ Twerton Park was called off the previous evening.
A statement from the Romans on Friday 6th February said: “After a pitch inspection this evening by a qualified match official, and with current issues combined with the forecast weather overnight, the decision has been made to postpone the fixture.
“Any tickets purchased will remain valid for the rescheduled fixture.”
Weather permitting, Bath will be in action in the league tomorrow, Tuesday 10th February, against Hampshire club AFC Totton at Snows Stadium (7.45pm).

Bath are now clear of the relegation zone only on goal-difference, although they have up to four games in hand on the five sides below them.
