Wood, who turns 20 today, joined Kings from Southern Division One Central outfit Berkhamsted in February 2020.

 

He made 3 appearances, one in the league and two in the County Cup in 2019/20 before its early finish due to Covid-19.

 

He then established himself as a versatile regular at the club, having played 46 times for the club, scoring 7 goals.

 

Kings Langley manager Chris Cummins told his club`s website: "Jack came to us as a youth player and showed great potential in his first few sessions training with the first team.

 

"With our philosophies as a club that wants to develop and promote from within, we gave Jack his debut as a 17-year-old. Jack continued to improve and became a regular starter at a very young age.

 

"He has now been involved with the first team for nearly three years and like many young players will have highs and lows, however as a coach I believe in giving young players the chance to play even when things are not going well and to Jack's credit, he has overcome every obstacle".
