Wood came up through the Mansfield Town youth team where he was captain,[1] before making his first-team debut aged 17 in an FA Cup tie against Colchester United in November 2004.[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 Unibond League to get first-team experience but was recalled in April to cover for injuries.[3] After Mansfield Town were relegated to the Football Conference at the end of the 2007–08 season, he was out of contract but was offered new terms by the club.[4]
