Martin Woods (born 1 January 1986) is a Scottish footballer currently playing for Rotherham United F.C.. He is an attacking left-sided midfield player noted for his excellent long range shooting and free kicks.
Woods started his career as a trainee at Leeds United where he was capped by Scotland Youth. He made just one substitute appearance for Leeds before a loan spell at Hartlepool United for whom he made eight appearances.
His next move took him to Sunderland where he made eight appearances in the Premiership. He scored in his debut pre-season but failed to make an impact and was released at the end of the 2005-06 season.
On August 1, 2006 he signed for Rotherham United F.C. just under week before the start of the League One season.
Martin is a regular in the first team for the Millers, receiving the man of the match award regularly.
He scored his first goal against local rivals Doncaster Rovers, where Martin rocketed the ball into the top left corner of the net from 25 yards.
Woods scored his second goal for the club against Swansea, with an unstoppable free kick from 30 yards in the dying seconds of the match. Less than a week later he continued his excellent run of form with two superb goals during Rotherham's 4-1 victory over Bradford City. The first was an astounding free kick from over 55 yards; the second a volley from just outside the box which left the keeper helpless.
Martin wears shirt number 23 for the millers and has started 22 games, scoring four times.
