[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.

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.
