Ex-Arsenal star Wilshere joined the Cherries on a free transfer in a bid to reignite his career.
Just one day after the move was confirmed, he was named on the bench for Jason Tindall’s side.
He replaced team-mate David Brooks with just 12 minutes of the game left to go.
Wilshere was unable to inspire his new team to glory and the game ended 1-0 to Derby.
The 29-year-old has been training with the Cherries for the past three weeks after being left without a club.
It was announced in October that Wilshere had agreed to terminate his West Ham contract.
He spent two years at the London Stadium, but injuries limited him to just 19 appearances.
Krystian Bielik bagged the only goal of the game on Tuesday after he suffered a nasty cut above his eye.

The former Arsenal ace hit the deck after an accidental collision with Jefferson Lerma.
He received treatment from Derby’s medical team as blood poured down his face.
But the Polish hardman decided to play on before he found the net in the 32nd minute.
After the match, Bielik said: “We dug in until the final minute today.
“It wasn’t easy but we showed quality, togetherness, energy and we deserved three points.
“We think about the next game now.”
Derby are 21st in the Championship following Wayne Rooney’s first win as permanent manager.
