Career

Westwood began his career at Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he scored once against Portsmouth,[1] before moving to Reading. First team chances at both clubs were limited, and at the beginning of the 1999–2000 season, he moved to Hartlepool United. Westwood was named in the PFA Division Three team of the year for the 2002–03 season, as Hartlepool won promotion to Division Two.[2] Over the course of six seasons at Victoria Park, Westwood made 294 appearances in all competitions, scoring nine goals. He left Hartlepool at the end of the 2004–05 season after rejecting the offer of a new contract, instead opting to join Walsall on 1 July 2005.[3]

Westwood helped Walsall to promotion in the 2006–07 season, and was named in the PFA League Two Team of the Year.[4]

Westwood was signed by Peterborough United from Walsall on a three-year deal on 14 May 2007,[5] and aided in the team's back-to-back promotions to League One and the Championship. On 6 January 2009, Westwood moved on an initial one-month loan to Cheltenham Town,[6] which was later extended for a further month.[7] Following Peterborough's promotion to the Championship, Westwood was placed on the transfer list.[8]

On 9 July 2009, Westwood signed a two-year contract with League One side Wycombe Wanderers after his contract with Peterborough was cancelled.[9]

Westwood left Wycombe in June 2011 after rejecting their offer of a new contract and signed for Wrexham on a two-year deal.[10]
