He had re-joined Moneyfields in December 2016 from Gosport Borough for an undisclosed fee.

Wooden joined Boro whilst they were in the Southern League Division One South & West as a fresh-faced teenager and went onto to firmly write himself in Boro’s history books.

He was an integral part of the promotion-winning squad of 2011/12 which saw the-then Gosport squad gain promotion to the Southern Premier Division via the play-offs.

But it was the following season where his exploits truly made all the difference.

He partnered Rory Williams up front in the absence of talismanic striker Justin Bennett and between them, scored well over 30 goals as they terrorised countless defences in the Premier Division.

Their goals propelled Boro up the division into the top five with an astonishing 23-match unbeaten run and a play-off place was secured.

Another play-off campaign beckoned, and it was Wooden’s goal in the semi-final at Stourbridge that set Gosport on course for the final at Hemel Hempstead Town - Boro were promoted via a penalty shoot-out after the game had ended 2-2 after extra-time.

The following season in the Conference South saw Wooden feature prominently once again.

The fairytale run to Wembley was entwined with another good season for him and the popular midfielder played a part under the arch as a second half substitute in Gosport’s 4-0 defeat against Cambridge United.

The following two seasons saw Wooden score some spectacular goals including memorable efforts against Hayes & Yeading United, Ebbsfleet United but most memorably against Havant & Waterlooville in the 2015 Boxing Day derby.

This strike propelled Wooden to national fame, as TV stations and numerous newspapers and magazines publicised the wonder strike.

He spent a couple of decent seasons back at Moneyfields before departing in the summer of 2019 for Sydenhams Football League (Wessex) Premier side AFC Portchester.

He was quickly off the mark upon his return to the club, although his goal was only a consolation in a 3-1 defeat at Winchester City on Tuesday night.
