Wood`s first spell with the club came between 2005 and 2008, where he amassed over 150 appearances, scoring 21 times.

 

He started his career in the youth ranks of Hayes Lane tenants Cray Wanderers, where he progressed through to the first-team in 2002.

 

After three years, he moved on to Bromley, where he enjoyed success in the form of the 2006/07 Isthmian League play-off winning side, who gained promotion to the Conference South, thanks to a 4-2 penalty victory over Billericay Town, cementing his name in Bromley folklore.

 

Following his successful spell with the Ravens, Wood was picked up by then-League Two side Brentford and went on to win the league with the Bees in his first season, sealing promotion to League One.

 

After three seasons in League One with the West London outfit, he was loaned to League Two outfit Rotherham United, where he made 27 appearances, scoring once.

 

After his loan at the Millers came to an end, and he left Brentford, Wood signed for Wycombe Wanderers in July 2012, where he would spend five seasons.

 

During his time with the Buckinghamshire outfit, he made 213 appearances, scoring 16 goals.

 

At the end of the 2016/17 season, Wood left Wycombe, and signed for National League outfit Eastleigh.

 

After spending just over one season with the Spitfires, in which he featured three times against Bromley, the last of which being a substitute appearance against the Ravens a week or so ago, Wood made the return home, to Hayes Lane.

 

On his return, Wood told http://www.bromleyfc.tv: “It’s great to be back! I’m looking forward to the season and getting back out onto the Hayes Lane pitch, hopefully some of the fans remember me!

 

Manager Neil Smith was delighted to secure the services of someone well known to the Club, who he had kept tabs on for a while; “It was a no-brainer to get him on board after leaving Eastleigh. It’s great to get him in for that bit of experience he brings, and we are delighted have got it across the line”.
