Career
Mansfield Town
Wood came up through the Mansfield Town youth team where he was captain,[1] before making his first-team debut aged 17 in an FA Cup tie against Colchester United in November 2004.[2] He made his league debut in May 2005, when he came on as a substitute against Rochdale.[2] In late March 2007, Wood was loaned to Ilkeston Town of the Northern Premier League to get first-team experience but was recalled in April to cover for injuries.[3] After Mansfield Town were relegated to the Football Conference at the end of the 2007–08 season, he was out of contract but was offered new terms by the club.[4]
Boston United
On 1 July 2009, Wood headed south and signed for Boston United. After being a regular in defence, he was released in May 2010 when the club achieved promotion to the Conference North.[5] He made 47 appearances for the Pilgrims but failed to score a goal.
Worksop Town
In the summer of 2010, he joined his home town club Worksop Town on a free transfer. He made his debut in the away win at Nantwich Town and has been a key member of the first team ever since, regularly playing in the left back position.
