Richard Wood (born 5 July 1985, Ossett) is an English footballer currently playing for Sheffield Wednesday F.C..
The Yorkshire born defender came up through the ranks at Sheffield Wednesday F.C. He broke into the senior side at the end of the 2002-2003 season and capped his superb performance with a goal on his full debut against Burnley. The young Wood made such an impression that he was handed a two year deal before he completed the second year of his Academy scholarship.
He formed an impressive partnership with Graham Coughlan in the centre of defence and has put in a series of strong displays.
Wood staked his claim for a regular spot as he missed just one of the final 28 games as Wednesday clinched promotion to the Championship the previous season.
He enjoyed a lengthy run in the 2005-2006 season before an untimely injury cut short his season, which also deprived him of making an appearance for the Football League Select XI against an Italian Serie B representative side. He has been tipped to win honours for the England Under 21 team.
